I heard this book was funny but the dialogue is like a Wes Anderson movie if the characters were even more crass and everyone important was a cagey woman doing very gay shit. (That comparison may be in part because I'm listening at x1.5 speed.) The ridiculous is almost impossible to parse from the bleak and either way it's visceral enough to occasionally startle you awake like the chirp of an urgent email notification from your boss obliterates a weird sex daydream or a stranger interrupts your Sunday morning walk by screaming nonsense at you on the street.

Ending 2024 and starting the new year with this perverted and overtly uncomfortable novel. It’s so good it’s disgusting

It's kind of like if influencer culture took shrooms and then made love with three self help books and a sci-fi novel. The book had an incredibly slow build up, but I didn't find it boring at all, and in fact had a hard time putting it down the deeper in I got. Bottom line, even though it was less 'horror' than I was anticipating, I would recommend this book if you're looking for a surrealist read and a wild story line.
Also I think about this book whenever I get into a hot tub, so there’s that.

🔋I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly.
Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!
