“I was a twenty-seven-year-old woman but still often treated like a girl. I didn’t know if it was something about me or something about the world. Did I lack confidence or did the world lack confidence in me? My fault or yours?” finkemeyer knows what its like to be a twenty-something-year old teenage girl she's so real for that

love finkemeyer's stance on the impossibility of having a fulfilling life within a late capitalist era - 'I thought I saw some broken windows, and things seemed suitably haunted for a minute, before I remembered that these were actually solar panels. Nothing was as haunted as I felt it should be. Everything was fine and modern, and I was the only thing that couldn’t be fine and modern too.'

very much obsessed with this so far. finkemeyer’s writing is so quick witted and fast paced - she perfectly portrays the inner thoughts and monologue of a woman lost and exhausted from the intricacy of life
