Loving Nao’s voice so far. She's feral, raw, and slightly unhinged in the most endearing way. The Ruth chapters, though… total tonal whiplash. She’s so calm and sensible she feels almost aggressively normal by comparison. Right now I’m here for the teenage chaos and politely tolerating the novelist.

Do I like it so far? Yes, I do. The sixteen-year-old narrator is hilariously jarring in places, and I appreciate her very much.
