I may have waited too long to read this and let it become overhyped for me.

But as you can see, I seem to be feeling the need to apologize to this book for not liking it more, for honestly finding its voice and structure extremely average.

It is a fine book about a young woman's struggle with burnout, perfectionism, difficult parents. But really, in my mind, merely fine.

Maybe it and I just don't have chemistry.

it feels like a more contemplative fleabag, if that makes sense. it's about a woman who lives very much in her own head and i appreciate that a lot. i enjoyed reading it, although i think that i'm just not quite at the phase of my life where it's fully applicable to me, yknow? maybe i will revisit in a few years.

The book does a good job of showing a person in the depths of a mental breakdown and dealing with depression. I didn't feel like it got to know any of the characters but felt the author did a good job just showing what it looks like and may seem like to deal with this mental issues.
