Everywhere You Don't Belong by Gabriel Bump

4.0

Wow, this guy can write dialogue. It was very deadpan and spare, in a way that was both very funny and very sad. I thought the book was stronger in the beginning when it was less plot-driven. The ending didn't do as much for me (and had some surprising thematic overlap with The Hate U Give). I also was confused about the point of the character Connie Stove and thought she could have just been eliminated. Would definitely read more by Bump though.
