This was such an exhausting repetitive read. Even though it is first-person, I feel that the character is split into two voices. One is very observant when it comes to classism, racism, social media and neoliberalism and there are some really astute bits of writing. That's 20% of the book at best. However 80%..
is about a desperate creepy abusive woman who says the same thing again and again about her lover and one of his girlfriends.  At first it's OK, but I had to force myself to finish this book. It's the same stuff in different words and really tiring to read, story goes nowhere
