terribly unfunny with its constant use of homophobia as a joke and demonization of BPD. every character is insufferable, i get it, it's satire, that's the point, but a book needs more substance, reading about nihilistic self-hating millennials who never grow and continue to treat people horribly gets tiring.
now, the thing that bothered me the most was the dismissal of astrology as something fun, good for memes, but not to be taken seriously. astrology has existed for thousands of years and to this day it's still used in many different cultures, there's a variety of systems and traditions, but the author never acknowledges it, which makes me feel like they chose to use astrology as a plot point only because it's "trendy". that way, other people will finish this book and think "see? astrology is a scam", while continuing to disrespect the practice.
