This book felt like a novel length tiktok slideshow of those fake deep tumblr text posts with Phoebe Bridgers’ Stranger in the Alps playing in the background. I love those slideshows! And I liked a lot of the passages in this book! Some of the passages in this book were heartbreaking and lyrical and gorgeous! But page after page of Halsey-lyric prose is not enough to hold my attention and that might just be a me thing because this book came highly recommended. Another book that would’ve been better as a short story.
