The first half of this book was fascinating and super exciting to a dork like me. The later half is so boring I’m tempted to intentionally fall asleep with the audiobook running.

“It is actually possible to never have another problem for the rest of your life.” - just one dumb tidbit from this wildly silly book. Reading for a book club- I promise I’m not having a breakdown.

I must stop falling for hip feminist books with pretty covers. So much filler pulled directly (with attribution) from Braiding Sweetgrass and Untamed. Could have been an interesting 100pg book but is instead 250+ pages of nonsense. Favorite quote so far is the entirely delusional: “women have been programmed to believe money is like a pond, finite… whereas men perceive it as a roaring and endless river.” ????

Nearly 200 pages in and not a single surprising thing has happened. Isabelle is the least nuanced nightmare of a character I’ve read in a long time. Trying to press on as I hear the ending is fantastic but eek!
