i would HIGHLY recommend the audiobook for this. the main character was incredibly lovable and felt like someone i might know and love in my own life. while on the surface the main characters “monologue” seems surface level, there is actually so much depth in it. i felt like the main character became so well rounded and real as the book went on. i also loved the formatting of this book surprisingly.

Okay this book really grew on me. it was def a pretty quick read and I liked how societal/political issues were authentically used as context (i.e. gentrification) without it feeling forced or like the author felt obligated to include them. I also was really endeared to Cara -- the only thing that bothered me was the way that the job applications were filled out so cheekily. I appreciated hearing her voice and the brutal honesty in them, but it just felt unrealistic to me and an insult to her intelligence that she would actually submit them like that.
