halle said this book is the 70s equivalent of sally rooney, and she was completely right.

this is the kind of book that is so enjoyable for every second it makes you want to go back and lower the rating of everything you've read of late.

it is so funny and so precise and so clever, and a page will have a random unshakable description that is so goddamn weird and right. i fell completely in love with these characters and with this book, and as the end of it approached i read slower and slower in the hopes i'd discover 100 or so pages had been stuck together and hiding.

just perfect.

bottom line: thank you halle!
