Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke
4.0
My favorite part about this was the urban exploration stuff (urbex, UE, etc.).
It's unsettling to me how many unused ruins amerika has left by the wayside, even in our relatively short history. It feels like a waste. To build a building, use it for a few decades, then leave it empty, while cutting down more of the natural environment to build a different building - the cycle makes me sad.
So I liked that this story brought that phenomenon into relief.
That said, I found the book itself to be relatively forgettable. It took me way too long to remember that I'd actually read it. I consumed it in just a sitting or two, but wish it had made more of an impact.
Extra star bc of the UE stuff.
