Status Updates From Private Rites

I don’t know how to describe this author’s writing style other than it is extremely real but also extremely white, especially because the apathetic nihilism that is set a near apocalyptic global warming and rising sea level is killing everyone but the story is very much focused on everyday life of having a Starbucks (?) job and finding yourself and mundanity where even protests are treated as unserious. Lmao.

I am enjoying this leagues beyond how much I enjoyed Our Wives Under the Sea (and I did enjoy that one it was a solid 3 stars that I read like 5 years ago at least).
