I picked it up completely blind to the plot and was charmed to discover a story about high school theatre, a world that mirrored my own high school experience. (The similarities ended quickly lol)
Really interesting and inventive storytelling. I wish this hadn't started as a holiday beach read, since I wasn't able to read it at the pace it deserved (and maybe the pace it requires). Demands revisiting, but not sure I want to yet.

Great little read. Initially a bit inscrutable but reveals itself in a delightful way. Helen DeWitt, you're batting 1.000.

Funny to describe a book that lives up to its content warnings on here as "breezy" but here we are. Light 3.5, goes exactly where you expect it to but stays entertaining on the way there. My first Moshfegh, not crazy about her writing style but maybe I'll take another crack at her in the future.

Reread to solidify its placement in my top 4 (placement absolutely solidified).
A truly remarkable book that remains unlike anything I've ever read. So funny and heartfelt and awe-inspiring. A genuine masterpiece.
