this book is like the catcher in the rye if holden caulfield went to oxford uni, had mates and was even more of a pretentious twat than he already is. the dream scenes were unbearable, skipping fully over some of them. it’s a huge warning against relationships at university and i enjoyed those parts, of adjusting and working stuff out. some of it was written so desperately wanting to be analysed that it made no sense, reading it felt like chewing on grit. just another story of a struggling english university student at uni but i do, and always will eat that shit up.
