Sometimes clunky and heavy-handed, but an interesting exploration of our tendency to conflate eloquence with intelligence. Because I’m 👵🏻, Gen Z narrators exasperate me.

There are aspects of this book that echo dynamics in my family that utterly confused me as a child. Why did everything change so dramatically when Grandfather died? Why can’t my mom and her sisters simply get along? Why does no one talk about what’s really happening? Weirdos, all of us!

In the book I’m reading, because of authoritarianism, the protagonist lives in a home with no phone, computer, internet, TV, or books. And it just makes me wonder 🧐 how would I spend my time (and maintain my sanity) in a world like that?
My best guess is I’d have to get really into cooking. A lot.
