DNF. 18%. Maybe this is funny to those that work in the industries being lampooned. I don't and I didn't laugh once.

Kind of funny, kind of sad, but mostly just annoying. I felt thrown into a plot that I didn't really see the point of. I was sort of told that Olivia is terrible, but didn't feel like I was shown it enough? And honestly, it felt hard to dislike her too much, in the beginning at least, when Nena and Osman were just being really frustrating characters. Nena in particular was just so rude, seemingly for no reason. Or maybe there was one. My favourite parts were the descriptions or interactions with/about Osman's family. Just not for me I guess.

“I knew there was nothing I loved better than being told who I am, because then I didn’t have to think about it myself.”
unfortunately this one fell flat for me. I did enjoy some of the ideas presented, but they never felt fully fleshed out
