This Is Where the World Ends by Amy Zhang

WHOA yeah definitely was not expecting that particular plot point to happen, but it definitely went there
very enjoyable writing style — makes me want to read FALLING INTO PLACE even more than i already did, if only because i was left feeling kind of unsatisfied with the characters in this novel. like individually i loved janie and micah but when they're together they're just AWFUL with each other and i couldn't connect with their weird pseudo-ultra-friendship at all?? if you're gonna go the whole "everything is shitty, let's be shitty together" route, you need to make the relationship somewhat likable overall
but still a great, fast read that i breezed through for the mystery elements of it & the stellar writing
