Today I learned that "skag" is a slang word for heroin. Thx, Cat Marnell.

it is always so bizarre to me to read pre-internet authors write about the internet... i've noticed that most of them acknowledge the internet but make up some excuse as to why their character isn't on Facebook or whatever. Pip is along these lines, but she finds social media to be intrusive and unavoidable... something she's constantly and unsuccessfully trying to avoid.

The Devil Wears Prada but on adderall.

this is so awkward. its like a female version of chip from the corrections.

The writing is at its best when Cat drops the cliches and tells her story more conversationally.

“Who would want to stay? Cold, wet, miserable: terrible food, dreadful newspapers—who would want to stay? In a place where you are never welcomed, only tolerated. Just tolerated. Like you are an animal finally housebroken. Who would want to stay? But you have made a devil’s pact… it drags you in and suddenly you are unsuitable to return, your children are unrecognizable, you belong nowhere.”
