a sharp, funny critique of self-obsessed, self-deceiving elites in brazil. really enjoyed the conversational, almost stream-of-consciousness prose, which allows us an unfiltered peek into our protagonist vivian's mind. appreciated how clara drummond wove some vulnerabilities and insecurities into vivian's character yet still kept her satire strong by showing how vivian still wants her privilege and the life she knows above all. a fun, thought-provoking read

3.5 Thank you FSG books for this copy for review.

This is a rather short story about a pretentious artist living in Rio. I could skim through the art references but couldn't help myself to be so captivated with the culture references. I grew up in Brazil so this book for me meant nostalgia in a way. The discussion surrounding hookup culture in Brazil was so relatable and some parts of this story was very out there. I rather enjoyed myself!
