definitely the worst babitz ive read. this novel is meditative, i wouldnt say nothing happens, but it chases its tale a lot. but i literally cant shit talk my novel would be the same. the character descriptions are a bit wishy washy and its hard to pinpoint how jacaranda feels about each person (lowkey isnt that just life tho?). i did enjoy jacarandas fall from grace and her recovery in nyc. and i lovedddd max, gonna say You’re Here! to everyone and anyone i want to fall in love with me. 

babitz’s prose saves this book of course. its so refreshing to read her style im addicted to her and i will continue to read and reread all of her work. but without a doubt her essays are better
