At one point, I started to feel like it was taking forever to get to the end and how was this even going to wrap up because the characters were stuck in a loop of shitty decisions. And then it felt like I was suddenly at the end. Despite the slight drag in the middle (I’m probably not going to be in the majority with that opinion), it was good. Couldn’t stop thinking about it and couldn’t turn pages fast enough - filled with all of the horrible decisions made by those in their early 20s striking out in the world trying to find their place.
