never has a <400 page book felt so long.
characters were good, but there was way too many of them.
the community interaction was (I believe) the point of the story, and it was good when it paid off but it paid off way too infrequently.
overall probably a good book in the literary sense, but it's not a book I've enjoyed reading. almost dnf'd it several times and if it were not a book club book I doubt I ever would have finished it.
personal enjoyment 2 stars, but this is too well written a book to rate it as such.
as someone currently in a depressive spiral about late-stage capitalism, maybe reading a book about a woman in an out-of-control depressive spiral because of late-stage capitalism was a bad idea.
it made me a little uncomfortable & a lot depressed.
