It feels like I have an open wound. Still hurting. It's amazing that the author is able to make it relatable.
The reviews of the book criticized the author for irrelevant troubles, like the situation with club membership. I didn't see that so. I saw it as a social rejection. By people you wanted to be accepted by.
Not saying life cannot be hard for less affluent. Not saying it couldn't be worse.

I felt angry at end of Part 1.
I felt despair at end of Part 2.
There are three more parts. I wonder how I'll feel.
The author's background (and how it contrasts with most of the population) and the purpose of the book don't mesh well together. I attribute it to insufficient editing which couldn't find the optimal flow here. The author may be casually elite, but it can deter readers living a less abundant life.
