Read in Russian.

Everyone needs therapy, a job, and to stop spreading so much gossip (cured by having some actual shit to do). It's basically Mean Girls, but with extensive socio-politico-philosophical commentary.

I'd actually love to read some good analysis of this, because there was so much going on, I am massively confused and keen for some interesting interpretations.
