Read on Jia Tolentino’s recommendation.:

The difference between a lifestyle and a life.

Stealing a review from Andrew Blackman:

Perfection is not satisfying in the way that novels are traditionally satisfying—if you want to feel an emotional investment in the lives of Anna and Tom and to be gripped by their story, you’ll be disappointed. But if you want a sharp take on the emptiness of contemporary life, it delivers in spades.
