I drag my big blanket into the living room and crash on my old, soft sofa. I scroll through Instagram: people brunching, people cooking healthy, people climbing mountains, people reading, people taking a romantic stroll in the Old Port. Me, my greasy hair, my horse's breath and my eyeliner line from two days ago, we suddenly feel no worse for wear.
Camille, a big anxious girl with a poached heart, takes hard knocks like so many sips of cheap wine. She tries as best she can (but mostly badly) to keep her head above water, to drown her misfortunes which sound false.
"A generation that complains "with its mouth full", as the title of her novel suggests? Perhaps. But also a generation that seeks its place in a world turned upside down, that accumulates dates often empty of meaning, found on dating apps, that numbs anxiety with large swigs of alcohol, joints and sex, that evolves in a stultifying professional world where one should have ambition at all costs." - Iris Gagnon-Paradis (La Presse)
