My favorite book

I've read this 3 times. I love the witty and brilliant interior voice, but I feel like this only appeals to people who were also disasters making knowingly bad choices in their 20s.

Review of 'Exciting Times' on 'Goodreads'

I hesitated in choosing this book because it was compared to Normal People, which I disliked. But, based on the largely glowing reviews, I decided to buy it so I could read it sooner than the library hold list would allow (now I'm regretful).

At the end of my first day of reading, I told my DH that I liked this book —it's funny. Yesterday, I had to admit that I was no longer enjoying it. Ultimately, it's about a young (23-ish) Irish woman who is immature, generally unpleasant, and treats her lover(s) badly. That's the whole of the story. I think I'm done giving these types of books a chance.
