wow, what a bummer
Ive been hearing about this book for at least 10 years, waiting for the time to finally read it. and now i just can't seem to get into it. 

I appreciate the representation of the boring unremarkable underwhelming dissaponted and hollow adulthood every former gifted child feels inevitably stuck to. that was relatable. and the sense of loneliness of it all was sort of egotistically comforting because as much as life does feel painfully depressing sometimes, i know i wont feel alone in my adulthood.

but yeah, i wasn't really that invested and i wasn't connecting with her pov.
