Sprachlich sehr interessant, anders und lustig. Einige Stellen habe ich markiert, andere empfand ich als störend oder langweilig. Insgesamt aber ein toller Einblick in das Ende der Weimarer Republik.

I read the German original so I don't know how the translation turned out. 
I couldn't really bond with the protagonist Doris even when I thought about what her situation was and so on. 
And I feel like the ending was just giving up? Like she fell into depression and gave up her dreams.
