Not one likeable character on sight. Everyone’s just pathetic and miserable.

I can say that I am glad I listened to this, but the characters were sad (and some were very manipulative) and I was hoping for a bit more action. On the flip side - it really did paint a picture of a summer between high school and college - that “waiting room” feel that one has before the next part of adulthood begins.
