✨4.25/5✨
There's... a lot to unpack with my reading of Spring Awakening. Reflective, this edition grasps the reader whole into a vat, seemingly, of social issues—because the read is filled with them. Although short as it might seem, this is a heavy book, grotesque in its fashion, slapping the reader of reality which so often eludes them. A great book, certainly, but one I still want to digest for quite a while before opening again.

sherbertwells's review against another edition

dark emotional hopeful sad fast-paced

2.0

The famous fin-de-siècle children’s tragedy, remixed to take place in modern Britain. As it turns out, giving kids smartphones actually diminishes the tragedy of their bad decisions.

“HANS: Maybe in thirty years we’ll look back on this and it’ll seem stupid. But it’s beautiful now actually isn’t it. It’s all beautiful now” (73)
