read for class, so unfortunately that can ding the rating…
i think this book has a great message to it and it’s super unique and creative with its concept. however comma, the writing style really grated on me and i found the book frustrating to read as i continued on. the characters were so impersonal and there were SO. MANY. LISTS. i skimmed almost all of them because there would be multiple lists of 4+ items (sometimes spanning over 5 lines of text) on a single page! i just couldn’t take it
