I legitimately don't understand the reviews which give this book a poor rating solely because Natasha (the main character and narrator) is an annoying and evil bastard. She most certainly is, which I thought was the point of the book. There isn't much of a plot, frankly, but I think that's fine with just how awful everyone was.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It is pretty funny, and I loved cringing at whatever liberal millennials are up to.I loved the "Olinka" subplot, too, especially given that "Olinka" is the real Ukrainian name "Olenka" spelled wrong. Shows how people who are educated can be deceived by blindspots. So much fun.
I recommend this book if you're not someone who thinks that every character must be likable (I'm unsure if there's even one in the whole book, other than perhaps Olinka) and you enjoy (liberal) millennial cringe.
