You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine by Alexandra Kleeman
2.0
I think it’s like a 2.8 cause i don’t understand how you can write a book with so much happening but also so little at the same time.
It’s my understanding that it’s very serious about taking on questions of the corporate culture and I liked these and I noticed them but it was also very weirdly done. Like not vague but maybe there was like corporate + entertainment and the replaceability of human life and it all kinda made it feel like there’s just too much going on for the sake of themes but they didn’t really all come together in the plot cohesively.
Also funny that I read The Crying of Lot 49 which definitely felt like this book was thinking about it in the early sections of the novel.
Seriously none of the characters in this book feel even remotely enjoyable to read and I don’t know if it was intentionally done or not.
