I'm a Fan: A Novel by Sheena Patel
2.0
tonally, this book feels like fleabag in season one if she had an instagram addiction.
in its critique of social media and the impacts it has on our psyche this book captures an accurate reflection of the one sided reality of the images we create of ourselves and the profiles we see + how well that translates to the one sided nature of certain relationships, especially toxic ones. wrap that up with class and racial dynamics for a social commentary that feels more like your friend telling you unhinged dating stories… but switching topics every few minutes to make sure your conversation passes the bechdel test.
