I saw this book in the library and was really excited about it until I saw the reviews on here. I really didn’t think it deserved the negativity on here. It’s definitely a ‘no plot just vibes’ sort of book, and the vibe is predominantly angst. The characters aren’t ever particularly likeable at any point but I still appreciated the book as a window into teenage angst. It’s better than the reviews would suggest, in my opinion.
