Not far in, but I am finding this fairly interesting so far. There‘s so much high praise plastered all over it that I remain alternately expectant and suspicious...

Abandoning at about halfway. Millie, a 30 year-old millennial (I presume her name is a reference to this) is pathologically incapable of coping with adult life, partially because it is difficult and unrelenting but also because she is stuck in a state of permanent adolescence. She reminds me of the protagonists in Ottessa Moshfegh‘s books; there‘s a lot of filth and disappointment and bodily functions. You really need to be in the right mood.

This was breezy and enjoyable but not particularly amazing.. I wonder why it was longlisted for the Booker prize? Am I missing something?

I‘m on leave for a week and enjoying this as my first holiday read.

Got the brand new copy first at the library. Excited to read this!

I'm only on page 27 so I need to keep giving this a chance but I'm feeling a bit bored by this book at the moment...
