Rounded up from 2.5 stars. This reads like a transcription, which I find compelling only because it is an unusual way to write a novel. I have always wanted to find a piece of fiction that truly mimics all of the stutters and missteps and nonverbal cues we make when navigating conversations. However, this missed for me. I think she makes important points about the mercurial qualities of selfhood and relationships, and she writes them well, but the narrator doesn’t have much of an identity or even a personality. I felt Popkey revealed depth all of the characters—and no character exists beyond a chapter or two, really—EXCEPT in her narrator, and that was frustrating.… (més)

I did not finish this book. Not because of bad writing, not because there aren't stories to tell, but because the stories weren't holding my interest, were depressing, and I just didn't want to read them anymore. It isn't a long book, I probably would've forced myself to finish (I was over halfway through) in younger days, but I am too old to read something that I don't want to.

I don’t like panning books as I think authors pour what they have and sometimes it just doesn’t connect with a certain reader. I read as many as I could and then realized I wasn’t the audience for this slim book. The first one on rape fantasy should have been the indicator, but I pressed on. Sadly, not for me.

Pretentious drivel. DNF at page 68. I thought about hate reading the whole thing, but then I came to my senses. Maybe I'm just a boomer trapped in a millennial's body, but if this type of novel is the best my generation has to offer, then we are in SERIOUS trouble.
