Felicia's Reviews > Social Creature

Omgggg I had the best night ever. Tara Isabella Burton and I sat out on the porch with a box of wine while she told me this fucked up story about this chick she knew in college named Louise.

That's what it feels like reading this book, the author is speaking directly to you via a disjointed style of writing that is clearly purposeful and a genius way to get under your skin while building up an uncomfortable tension.

The cast of characters are straight from one of those annoying reality shows featuring entitled narcissistic trust fund fucktards...

....and then there's Louise, at home, watching this trainwreck and wishing she were the conductor. She's willing to do anything, to endure anything, to be seen by and with this vapid crowd.

"We cannot be known and loved at the same time."

Preach Louise, preach 🙌

Social Creature is a deep look into a shallow world for fans of character driven psychological fiction.

P.S. The ending is perfection.
