Ruby and Ivy's friendship was my favorite part, but most of the other relationships felt like there could've been more there. Parts of the writing felt overdone: heavily symbolic but I couldn't understand the symbols.
I'd still recommend it! A few passages about moonshine and snakes are especially beautifully written, and there's a general feeling of pointlessness, but also hope, that's hard to describe.
