Warning: This book does not contain quotation marks. While there is literary value to this, it definitely took getting used to.
At times it was easy to get annoyed with characters for their lack of communication, but they actually communicate quite openly with each other. They themselves are confused, shy, or repressive about whatever they're feeling. It was pretty dark, but tentatively hopeful and nicer than I'd expected.
