Really wanted to like it. Some sections of writing are really beautiful.
I really struggled to finish it though. Kind of a slog.
Felt pretty baffled by the main characters motivations and sense of self. Felt very wooden or opaque to me. Also nothing fucking happens. I can only read so many descriptions of commercials. I agree with all the points the book is trying to make about consumerism and capitalism and body image and health and food systems but I still found myself getting annoyed with how they dealt with all the politics.
