a book you have to sit silently for an hour after reading and there's no room for thoughts outside this book. the perfect representation of being a poster but also life and how much it hurts.
I have never read a book like it. Truly original and unexpectedly poignant. It captures the feeling of being "chronically online" so well. It's one of the very few books I have read that actually gets (at least some aspects of) the internet right. I did not expect it to hit so hard and I was sobbing throughout much of it and held it to my chest for a moment on finishing.
WARNING: If you have never been chronically online you may not like this book, in the same way that I don't like Williamt Burroughs because I've never taken drugs.
Her style of writing is so funky and beautiful, which makes this a great read. also, the story sheβs telling about herself and her family is at times hilarious, sad, and relatable. Truly truly so so good βοΈ
What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.
