So sad, so gorgeous

Does the plot ever start?

Every chapter is like 'The journalist learned the 80th version of the 295th member of the Swedish millionaire's family history. The eponymous girl with the dragon tattoo judged everyone, silently.'

Kerry Howley's features on NyMag saved me from dying of boredom this winter. Always skillful, inventive, and thought provoking. Read her most recent piece on the protests in Minneapolis!

Gag.

kind of basic....

Chat are we so back?

Cried over the pencil case, cried over the scene dancing in front of Madame.

Halfway through our two protagonists have their first romantic encounter (PG btw) and I swooned so hard it made me weak in the knees

Funniest orgy scene ever

Even though I'm rereading this, the twist at that one part (you know the one!) still made me gasp. sign of a great book!

My old review still stands, engrossed from the first page

I've read a lot of autobiographical fiction lately. And also a book about thatcher-era upper class british life. i think after this book I'll be done with both of those themes for a while.

You dip the really long audiobook in the long car ride and it's just good

On my second book in a row in which the title is a sort of salutations and is about a woman who just went through a major breakup.

okay so this is crazy

It sort of gives the other two gay aids play "we still don't know what it is..."

I cannot believe there are over 50 pages left in this book 🥱

cannot put this down

Like many reviews mention, I would hate to be stuck next to the author at a party.

Girl....

I took a sociolinguistics course and we read a chapter from this book and it rocked my world a little. TBD if it holds up
