Dolan is very good at dialogue, making it feel like voice but actually every character talks and jokes in the exact same style. This was light as air and I read it in about 20 minutes (not quite but what is with that font point size?!). I didn’t love Exciting Times so no idea why I came back for more. Dolan has a depressing view of human relationships and interactions and I’m probably just too old for this. After Enright I guess anything was going to seem trivial. I loved the classical music content though.
