Lots and lots of wandering and indecision in the minute detailing of a young American of Turkish descent's freshman year at Harvard. Here and there bits were laugh-out-loud funny, but overall I just couldn't muster much sympathy for the narrator. [Editing to add:] Imagine spending a year with an 18-year-old who's both self-absorbed and not at all self-aware. She obsesses about language, math and philosophy (thank you, freshman core corriculum) while making stupid decisions about a guy. I ran out of patience with her and the story long before I finished it.
