Charlotte Jee @charlottejee.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Read Perfection. Honestly cannot recommend. It would've made a good New Yorker essay poking fun at millennials, but as a novel it's a slog. The writer can write well but seems to have spent far too much time around boring rich people, and doesn't have enough to say. 120
