Ok, I'm gonna be fully upfront...this is one of those books I'd heard the title of, but somehow misosmosed that it was more literary, more of a generational novel type thing. It is...not that lol. It's not really my typical genre tbh, but it's good to branch out now and then. What I liked best was the very early/mid 2000s internet of it, these stories being sent out on an email list. It does feel like that time when the internet was not completely new, but still somewhat novel, and the ways people were connecting were different than they are now. As for the story itself, it wasn't anything remarkable to me, although maybe others who enjoy romance novels or gossip girl-type stories would enjoy it more.
