Cara is an eco-fanatic so determined to reduce our footprint on the earth that she resorts to dumpster-diving in order to get her breakfast. Her fanatism makes her so judgmental of others that she has a hard time maintaining relationships of any type. Everything changes for her, however, when she meets Millie, the mother of her current boyfriend. Millie lives a totally indulgent lifestyle and is impervious to the environmental impact of her lifestyle. For some reason, Cara is totally captivated by Millie and rapidly succumbs to her decadent lifestyle resulting in an existential crises of nervous breakdown in Cara.

The reason I disliked the book was that there was not a single character that was sympathetic. Everyone was totally self-indulgent in their own way. As a result, I stopped to care what happened in the book and just kept hoping it would end quickly. ( )
