What are your thoughts on Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland?

Honestly, I mostly struggled with the book’s themes. I could see what it was trying to say about modern life, but the tone just didn’t work for me, and I can’t tell if I’m missing something or if it’s just not clicking. The ending especially felt kinda forced to me, like it didn’t fit. It also felt like the author contradicted himself a bunch, though maybe that’s on me for misunderstanding. On top of that, I thought the characters were pretty bland overall, and the way things were written really annoyed me for some reason—Karen in particular. I don’t feel like there was much growth for anyone until the last few chapters, and maybe that was meant to be that way. So yeah, I’m curious what other people thought.
