I liked that the writing style was directly influenced by Juliette's state of mind, that way it seemed very realistic and touching, but it was also a little bit annoying and exhausting sometimes. In the beginning I had the feeling the world wasn't as rich and well designed, but then again I feel like it was the writer's intention that we learn about the world together with the MC. A little bit cringe sometimes but the main audience is 14-20 years old so maybe I was a little bit out of the intended target group. If I had read this at 14/15 years old I would've eaten that shit up!
