I found this book bland, it only gave me a very surface level depiction of it's topics. I have no understanding of why Cathal was such a dick all the time.
It felt weird that so many brands were mentioned in such a short book and I didn't like it.

Another precise novella by Keegan. So far I’ve read »Small Things Like These« and »Foster« by her. They have one thing in common: a warm feeling that they leave behind. »So Late in the Day« strikes a little different: I feel enraged - you know, in a good way, in an excellent way. As the others, Keegan doesn’t waste a single word to tell this story.
»Maybe it’s just too much reality.«
It's so short and I don't want to spoil anything. Maybe I'll just say this: A man finishes his day at the office and starts his daily commute home. There he contemplates a huge "could have been". It takes a second to get the picture, but once I did - oh boy.
For those who read it, all I’ll say is this: the pages grew a bit fuzzy and my eyes stung (and I wanted to scream) as I read about the pancakes [this is partly a quote].
