Beautifully captures the ennui of being in your twenties, figuring out who you are and how you relate to other people, working in a job that doesn't satisfy but not knowing what else to do, moving, navigating relationships with partners and coworkers and aging parents and yourself. It's a story for those of us lost in this decade. 

I found the meandering structure a bit challenging to follow at times.
