No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

I loved Priestdaddy, and if you did too, you won't be disappointed by this, the author's first novel. In some ways it is more like a memoir than a work of pure fiction. The protagonist, like the author herself, is widely known for her online presence and celebrated for her acerbic wit. She is one to go viral, and yet with all the fame comes problems. What does it all mean? Is a highly exposed life on the internet all that it is cracked up to be, or are there downsides, things that diminish us as a result? The answer is as complicated as the question and the book answers them with a mixture of humor and cleverness. This is short, provocative, and will keep you thinking and evaluating your own life on social media.
