This book is like A Little Life but written in the 90s. It’s UK teenagers that run away from home and the romantic gesture turns into a genuine hell. They are unhoused and have no money. It devolves into drugs and worse. I was in a good headspace for it but had to take it slow. It was just so sad. But important as a viewpoint to understand more about what people need that end up in these situations.
