It’s not a BAD three stars, it’s just a normal three stars. It’s just that I’ve already read The Inland Sea and All This Could Be Different and I just didn’t need another book just like it. It’s ambient, it’s slice of life, it’s twenty-somethings feeling ambiently worried about the future and if they’ll be able to afford a house or not. I think I’m just really thirsty for some real plot these days.
I read books like this and I worry sometimes I read them just for the sake of reading them, rather than reading them for some actual purpose. Like thinking about them later, getting inspired by the writing, working my brain a bit. Maybe it’s fine to read a lazy river of a book sometimes but I’ve got to slot something with a bit more va va voom into my 2023 lists.
