[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I LOVE Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s journalism, but I hated this book. I agree that the main character was boring and unsympathetic and the whole thing was a nothingburger. Knowing TBA’s sensibility from reading a lot of her other work, I THINK what she was going for here was a mild satire about the absurdity of feeling miserable and inadequate while being a classically successful yuppie. I think it was supposed to be a Portnoy’s Complaint for the Instagram era. Unfortunately, she just didn’t pull it off. She’s usually extremely witty and has a sharp eye; I don’t know what happened here. [/quote] Same. [/quote]
