Such a Fun Age

Read this in one day on Gabber's recommendation! A fun, easy read! Perfect to ease me back into reading more! So very on the edge of cringe so many times. You could see where the story was going almost immediately. The only real suspense was which person would be the bigger problem in the end and how bad it would be. I wish we could have gotten more character development for the friends who didn't really get to have any interior life at all. Alex/Alix stressed me out a lot. I think she was presented in a pretty stereotypical way that rich, white, women bosses usually are (Devil Wears Prada, The Nanny Diaries, The Help), so that didn't feel particularly new or interesting. The voice of Emira was really great, but I wished for more for her in the end. Not even necessarily professionally, but just something. She was very clearly adrift. And then just seemed to kind of settle in an afterthought. I think the boyfriend would have been a lot more distasteful if we weren't only seeing him through the lens of two people who were both blinded by his good looks.
