Interesting take on American consumerism and Right Wing media conspiracies… however, I found this book to be bland and plotless. Poppy and Amy (the dog) were the only likeable characters in the entire book. I think the sisters’ relationship to each other and their family was the highlight of the novel, but was never fully realized. Jules was the most insufferable protagonist I’ve read in a while.

I couldn’t stop reading. but nothing happened and i really didn’t like the main characters. but it did make some very relatable comments on society and being a millennial woman. 

very of the moment with lots of 2019 references. 

you’ll like this book if you like hearing about anxious jewish millennials

A few chapters into this book, I read a review that said this was like a Millennial Seinfeld, and that helped me to enjoy this a lot more than I think I might have. The characters are a mess, their interactions can be mentally--and sometimes physically--abusive, and the ending is WHOA (trigger warning for possible animal death), but I couldn't look away. I even laughed a few times at the disfunction.

Reviews for this book showing me that there are a lot of dull, humorless dummies on this app! Worry is excellent and hysterical. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to see what Alexandra Tanner writes next.
