Recensioni

Having recently read Crosley's Cult Classic, I could not help but compare the two, despite that being fiction and this being non-fiction; while I fell that her friend was the inspiration for the catalyst in Cult Classic, this book is far superior with compelling writing with many nods to Joan Didion.

Meh. The narrator was so comepletely unlikeable and I don't think she was meant to be. I found her self-centered and shallow. Her only redeeming quality was that she was gracious enough not to continue to burden her ex-boyfriends with a relationship. Her frieds were also jerks...they all seemed like a redundant and flat group of people that I'm glad I don't know personally. beyond the annoying characters the premise of the plot was...huh??? Plot: Guy pays a lot of money to do a secret experiment on annoying girlfreind instead of just having a conversation with her about what a complete self-centered ass she is.… (altro)

With such a cool title, I expected more from this than flat characters and a minimal plot.
