this was like that tv show skins, but in greenland--messy young people figuring themselves out and dealing with their damage
the thing about a stream-of-consciousness multiple POV novel is that the POVs of characters you like are gonna be great, and the ones for less-likeable characters are a slog and a half to get through.

I actually don’t know how to give this book a star rating because I felt so disconnected to it. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t like it. I did learn that stream of consciousness isn’t really my style, though.

Vibes 100 but I often feel the nuance of a book is lost in translation
