Leaving Richard's Valley by Michael DeForge

4.0

This was like a mild fever dream of a read, which was actually really enjoyable. The characters are, for the most part, endearing and funny, which creates a wonderful juxtaposition with the often mature and serious topics and issues they all face. From the trauma of displacement (from a cult, no less) to the simple ideas of paying rent and considering internships, this was an enjoyable, tongue-in-cheek read.
