I liked how the title, Outline, coincides with each chapter outlining the characters introduced. There was a disconnect with the book, I'm not sure if it was the bluntness of the writing or the fact that the characters were not meant to stick with you. It felt like you got an inside scoop on the person you passed by earlier in the day. I enjoyed it but im not sure if im going to finish the series.

like...nothing fucking happens in this book ngl -- and despite there being some really beautiful prose, imo it doesn't outweigh the fact that 90% of it is utterly pointless...

Definitely a no plot, just vibes book. Some of the vignettes really worked for me, while others didn’t work as well. Cusk does a really excellent job of rendering men who are threatening and unsettling in precisely the way so many “non-threatening” men can be. And she has an incredible ability to capture all of the ways humans are pompous and self-absorbed and the strangeness of so much conversation, especially in contexts where we don’t know each other.
