Enjoyable to despise, well, mildly dislike, most of the characters. They are loathsome in a variety of ways, just like everyone you know, and that’s a humbling experience. I was hoping not to relate to the main characters, but it’s easily done when the minutiae of embarrassing phrases or actions are highlighted and spoken about in such a ‘nice’ way. I liked Bainbridge’s style as it’s not too descriptive, just enough adjectives to feel her level of perception and scrutiny.
It felt like you could be watching these interactions through your fingers if they were occurring in public.
