Julia Shaw’s Reviews > Breathless > Status Update

Whoever thought the masturbatory fantasies of a self-pitying, melodramatic, self-centered child would be enough to sustain a novel...was wrong. Really lost me when the narrator compared the death by suicide of one character’s friend to the recent quasi-fight she had with her own best friend. (A “fight,” by the way, that ended with the friend saying how much she loved the narrator.) Beyond insipid.
