5.0

this was the first book Storygraph ever recommended me. that was almost three years ago. I needed something quick to get me back into reading mood so I finally picked it and then voilà, read a half of it before bedtime.
the stream of consciousness really did it for me. made this into a probe into the queer, young adult, Greenlandic experience, and I appreciate it so much for what it is.

It was so easily readable, and I ran through the book so quickly. Each of the characters quickly pulled me in, and I was invested in their stories. However, it also kinda felt like an opening chapter to each of their stories. Like I want to know more. How it will continue. I want to explore their issues in greater depth. This really felt just too short and it just sort of skimmed the surface of it all.

I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed this book. It's very raw going in the naturalism vein of literature, sad-ish but hopeful-ish in places. The interconnected parts of the novel, each from a different point of view worked really well together and the story (as little as there is) flowed nicely.

Is this for everyone? No. But did I devoured it? Yes!
