I have read 1984 before, but this was my first read that conferred real meaning and ability to draw terrifying parallels into the present. Astutely representative and profoundly depressing.
I feel a little ambivalent about this one. I'd give it 3.5 stars. While I enjoyed it and there were a couple really good storylines, without giving anything away, I wasn't sure I'd agree with who the author chose as the moral compass of the story. I ended up not liking most of the characters.
This was an overall very enjoyable, summery read. I picked it up at a bookstore, enchanted by the cover and the sleeve glimpsing into chaotic lives of 20-something girlies in NYC (relevant!). The writing felt new and exciting. While I ultimately didn't mind that the book didn't have much of a plot, I probably would've preferred it to be shorter.
