The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour
4.0
The Disenchantments pleasantly surprised me. The story isn't exactly original (it's sort of your basic road-trip-right-after-high-school, hipster version) and neither of its main subjects (graffiti art and bands) particularly interest me, but I ended up really liking it and finishing it in about three hours. I did, however, very much dislike the female protagonist, which made me groan a bit at the ending, but I thought all the other characters were interesting and distinct.
Overall, I'd say The Disenchantments was kind of like a less-awesome John Green book-- the plot and the characters really reminded me of An Abundance of Katherines in particular. It's worth reading, but don't go into it with any illusions of amazingness.
