This was genuinely hilarious. I actually cackled many times reading this book. I don’t imagine it being as funny if you haven’t been chronically online // aren’t a millennial & that might be a major self read but aw well. There’s a particular sequence with the narrator, a doctors office, and a goldfish that I was wheezing at. The main characters are a hot mess express. Everyone is so unwell and so toxic to each other, especially the two sisters at the heart of it all. It’s all a bit unfiltered and absurd. The narrator, Jules, is insufferable and has a deeply unsettling parasocial relationship with conspiracy-theorist-religious mommy bloggers on Instagram. No real plot just vibes. I loved it!

The ending with the dog was so fitting but jarred tf out of me & was the one time in the book I actually couldn’t stand the main character in a visceral way, that’s the only reason it “lost a star” (if I have to use a rating system).

I wanted this story to just say more. There were some really witty passages and interesting moments but what you get from the first few chapters of the book is all you'll get from the book. A slice of life that should have been a short story.
