I checked this out from the library twice (had to return it bc of the waitlist) and never made it beyond like chapter 6 because reading it made me feel SUCH secondhand embarrassment that I wanted to claw my eyes out. Which I do feel like is the intended effect and well done to Miranda July for achieving it but when I remembered that I simply did not have to finish reading this I felt SUCH relief.
I think I'm not the target audience for this book. I enjoyed the character evolution and the dialogue with some of the more challenging relationships (especially with the husband Harris) but I generally felt like characters weren't relatable or believable. The banter is hilarious at times.
Alternate title: How I Spent My Midlife Crisis
I read a review that promised this book would change my life. That's a lot to live up to. In the end it did not, but I wasn't looking for my life to be changed. After all, I've always been a driver, not a parker.
