I just adored this. As a Millennial who has struggled with wanting meaningful work but not always feeling capable of handling the pressures, and has experienced mental health crisis that resulted in a complete 180 on the career I thought I’d have... this book ~spoke~ to me. I don’t know how else to say it! The narrator was wonderful, messy, expressive, funny, anxious. And the story is so mundane and yet beautifully strange in all the right ways. I found this captivating, and read it in just over a day.

I’m only sad to now discover that this is the author’s only work so far translated into English! I finished the book wanting to consume anything and everything else she has written! Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to do so in the future because this left me feeling seen and quietly hopeful, and I just want more!
