Nothing by Janne Teller
4.0

Initial feelings (1 star). I might rate it higher after more reflection.

Okay, fineee. I reflected. The theoretical implications in this book are pretty wild and cool, so I do like it more because of its approach. I'm placing it in a category of "Really liked it because of it was fun to analyze," and as bleak as its "meaning" is - HA, it's probably the boldest YA book I've ever read. Though, I should add - the narrative/writing itself wasn't really special and this didn't blow my mind in terms of characterization or even setting or language... so it's a weird spot. It's more one of those allegory books. Really I'm giving it 4 stars because its showcases how life has no rhyme or reason and is only chaos. I'm in grad school right now so this is quite fitting.
