“Megan is in her early 20s and having a mad downward spiral that includes condomlesss sex, alcoholism, and bleeding ulcers. By Megan I mean ‘Megan’, the girl in the book not the girl who wrote the book. I’m not sure of their relationship—you know how that goes. Anyway, these sparse entries are blunt and poetic and jaded and emotionally astute, so sweet about people, the big faceless mass of them which we are all part of, and weird about love, full of longing but also intelligently bored and over it because you know, people are dumb. I really love this book and want to send it to people I know to be like—this book is so you! But I think they would be offended. They’ll find it soon enough, it comes out in November and people are going to be reading it.”
