3.0

the language's poetic at many times and the parts where they actually have conversations with friends are interesting. however a good part of the book is just really boring with clichés in the plot and a taste of pretentiouness wchich i'm not sure is always intentional. i almost gave up halfway through, but it got better again towards the end.

i wonder if this would've made bigger impact on me had i read it when it came out and i was 21 myself and life was messy like this. probably. thank god i'm not 21 anymore and also that all in all the book turned out to be worth reading with some truly beautiful lines in there!
