I thought this would be a fun, light read (and it was the only thing on my list I could find immediately available on Libby). Unfortunately, though, it was quite meh. The characters were all insufferable, but without any clever or unique commentary on their world. The language was also a bit over the top and felt like it was trying so hard to be a literary book. Finished because it was a quick read and I had too long flights, but expect I will quickly forget it

Couldn't finish this one. Got about 75% through before I realized I just don't care about these people.
