See allI don't understand how her diagnosis is “later in life” when she was 15ish and she's not far from that now. That was the main reason I was interested enough to read this - I've never seen her videos and would not recognize her in any context. If you claim you're writing about the difference a “later in life” diagnosis can make - or you provide a blurb claiming this is “later in life” - it should not turn out “still diagnosed before high school graduation was near.” “later in life” is misleading.
Self-indulgent and boring. I was expecting to not mind that if “let me just do nothing and find oblivion as much as possible” was more obviously depression-based. I ended up really frustrated at how terrible the relationships were.
Interesting at first, but became really repetitive and felt thinner and thinner on historical basis. Disappointing.
This is closer to having a plot than this series has seemed to require in a while, but it's so painfully repetitive. Characters insta-hate Anita, for all the same ol' same ol' reasons; a pile of lovers praise how great she supposedly is with relationships; she constantly swears it's no one's business who she's having sex with and then never actually makes sure it's no one else's business, yadda yadda. Threat wraps up in the last five pages with a big lazy handwave that just seems like “eh, it's done because I say so and my page count/deadline is done.”
I keep skimming this series when I notice ‘em at the library because I rather enjoyed the first 5 or so, but they've just been boring an/or disappointing for so long. Handy for insomnia, though. Possibly also for drinking games, with the repetition, but that may prove fatal for most people.
