Epitomizing the quarter-life-crisis culture at its center, this story is 90% dialogue. And the dialogue is 90% psychoanalysis - every character calling out each other and themselves, convinced they've got it down. It makes for some fun reading that tricks the reader into thinking it's simpler than it is. At times the dialogue and non-stop telling leaves you wishing there had been a bit more showing - quieter moments or descriptions of actions rather than words to help the characters feel a bit more realistic. But late twentysomethings like these guys are rarely interested in that and they make every line worth your while.
