maybe im just not the target audience for this book, but i struggle to understand who this book is for? it doesnt really have a concrete plot to follow and things just...happen. theres not much meaning to anything, but i know it was all supposed to mean something. its just a badly written story, at the end of the day. nothing goes deep enough to have any sort of impact, and the characters are so painfully flat and one-dimensional
