Shockingly (hilariously) accurate portrayal of my life

Reading this book felt like hearing myself speak (but in a good way). I resonated so much with the main character- she highlighted everything I like, didn’t like and didn’t know about myself. Starting university in the fall, as an immigrant girl, made this book so meaningful to me. If you identify with the description of the main character, I definitely recommend that you read Either/Or. I found myself highlighting some phrases and sentences because they were just THAT good. I’ve even quoted them subconsciously… It was also a quick read- I picked it up blindly at the airport before a trip, and was able to finish it during the flight back home (about a week later).
