I think I’m going to vomit. Everyone in this story is so broken, they can’t stop hurting each other. This is what it’s like when you try and reinvent yourself, but you fall victim to one image of youth. You fall in love with ideas.
Danler’s prose is beautiful. Her characters are ugly. I’ll literally never recover.
