did not like it

bourgeois, casually racist at least once per essay, dreary, twee. how can something be so dreary and yet so twee? I thought it was impossible. I thought they were kind of opposite flaws. I think people don't see this book as twee because of the strategically deployed Melacholic Moments and Flawed Narrator but it totally is.

Alexis I don't know what "twee" means, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the casual racism throughout the book. It seems like everyone else interprets it as "social commentary" or something, and made me feel like I was just overreacting or not getting the joke. But I get the jokes - they are just racist.
