It’s almost a Sad Girl Book but the main character is too…naive to be a sad girl. I do like the all vibes no plot feel of the story but at the same time a lot of moments seem to happen just so the characters can wax poetic, or so Tess can practice her new, refined way of thinking.
I wanted more scenes in the restaurant but I understand that’s my bias, since I’m searching for restaurant books.
The Jake, Simone, Tess triangle was interesting but even in the end there were no real answers. There are vibes but they’re always obscured, abstracted, etc.
There are no lessons learned.
