it was such a weird little book. cultish, late stage capitalism (a cult in itself), unlovable/unreliable/unstable MC. incredible.
mainly vibes over plot but still it was an amazing little book.

I can’t say it was as hard of a “merciless takedown of late capitalism and our anxious, ill-fated quests for something to believe in” as the synopsis made it seem it would be but it definitely speaks to late capitalism. So much of the book felt like a blurred vision of our capitalist while dissociating through life. However, I do not know what to feel about the book. I wanted so much more out of it than I got. I wanted to know more about everyone and wanted a more grounded story. I genuinely cannot tell what happened this story and if anything was real or a grotesque and exaggerated imagination of the MC.
It’s not for everyone but definitely for you if you want something loosely glossy and reads like a fever dream you have while working at your shit job.
All I can say for sure is I don’t know.

I do enjoy books about mundane everyday life, so that element was what fills most of the 3 stars. Don’t expect to like any of the characters though.
“Deliciously unpredictable” was spot on.
