Hilarious, whip-smart, and a wild funny good ride with some big profound themes. Loved every minute of it and read it all in one go.

Chlorine by Jade Song

The author’s prose felt unintentionally immature and with dated format. It comes off as try hard and cliche—like a high school narrative essay vs a novel. It almost reads like bad YA, except it’s not a YA novel. The story takes forever to get going, spending so much time in the background character development without ever successfully managing to creating a believable relationship between the characters, partially due to a lack of dialogue and long-winded monologues about how the characters feel for each other (telling us vs showing us the characters’ connections). It was a chore to get through.
