I assumed this to be a clichéd YA novel when I first started it (it's become rare for me to read book blurbs.. I've been diving straight into the books that call my name). As the story progressed, I found more character and feelings that could be quite relatable as a millennial going through transitions in life. There is some strangeness and familiarity. The writing style took some time getting used to but was a refreshing change as it incorporated some really interesting emotional expression.

All in all, I don't think I'd be recommending this book to anyone I personally know but I would love to explore more of the author's works.
