This was an odd little piece of fiction. Not sure how I feel about the topics discussed and the overall plot events that happened

I found this far to relatable and I am offended.

Honestly this could have been a 5 star read the only thing that dropped it half a star for me was a slow start and some of the more minor characters were easy to mix up.

This was such a creative and relatable story about depression, anxiety and the bad decisions and judgements you make because of it. And the use of social media and the endless doomscrolling as a contributing factor to millennial melancholy was perfectly illustrated without being spelled out. 

If you are struggling through the first few chapters I promise it pays off.

This is almost like a John Green book, but for those in their 20’s a 2023 world. 

A lot of hard relating went on in this, from navigating friendships, dating (or not), to affording a house and getting well paid jobs. I also found it really interesting that Prasifka highlighted how a lot of our generation turn to social media and drink as a form of escapism as well as that some find it easier to navigate the online world than the real one. 

This was all wrapped up with a bit of dystopia too, which stopped this from becoming too hard hitting to read, allowing for a bit of escapism (but I could honestly imagine this happening in our real world too).

I have never resonated with a character like I did with Sophie. I recommend this read to every femme in their 20s. It made me feel that it's okay I don't have it all figured out.
