No clue what this is about. A person that doesn’t know what they’re doing and keeps purposefully messing up their life? I’m not sure what they were trying to accomplish here but I’m glad I did the audiobook. Even then, I almost DNFd it. Which never happens with me. Definitely can’t recommend unless you like a really slow pace existential books.
