I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It was a quick read with very short chapters, but the ending left me wondering what the whole point of the story was. The writing was addictive, poetic and emotional and I feel like the author really captured the feeling of loneliness, especially during the adolescent age. There was some suspense and I definitely predicted a "worse" ending, so I'm not sure what to think now. Yolo may be one of the best "book cats" out therešŸ„¹
