Really loved the premise of this, and I appreciate that both Jessica and Elijah helped the other grow -as opposed to making one the "helpless poor girl" or the other an "aloof rich brat". In this the plot was consistent with the message until the very end, a bit delusional but hopeful about carving a place for happiness in the middle of whatever late late stage capitalism we're stuck on. Things felt a bit rushed after the third act and I would've liked seeing some off-camera stuff, but it was a comforting read. A Sally Rooney novel for the girls and boys who are done being cynical about the state of the world.
