i’m not exactly sure how i felt about this. on one hand, there was something so insufferable about these self-centered white people and the way they pathologically intellectualized every single one of their tribulations. in a way that was almost too obnoxious to really bear. on the other hand, i did feel things. everything that happened in this book did, in fact, elicit an emotional reaction in me. and yet, by the end, i still did not know quite how to feel about anything that happened. i did enjoy the prose, however, and i think overall i enjoyed my experience with this book. so three stars it is.
