not my favorite sarah moss book, but still a sarah moss book, which is to say: good and tense and thought provoking! i absolutely love the way sarah moss can find meaning and joy while exploring the absolute fucking worst of people. she’s also such a nerd!!!! i love it!!!!

seasonal readers beware! do not be fooled as i was. this is a SUMMER book not a winter book. still good though.
