"More potently, our minds are a hungry audience, craving only the peaks and valleys of experience. The bland erodes, leaving behind the distinctive bits to be remembered again and again. Painful or passionate, surreal or sublime, we cherish those little rocks of peak experience, polishing them with the ever-smoothing touch of recycled proxy living."

I suppose this is a book for all ages but when every line is practically a pat on the back about how these characters/this book is subverting tropes, I'm hoping this just a meta tongue-in-cheek because every bit of this writing style is annoying.

"In short, Tress was a normal teenage girl. She knew this because the other girls often mentioned how they weren’t like 'everyone else,' and after a while Tress figured that the group 'everyone else' must include only her." Ironically the opening description of her fits the stuff people make fun of romance/YA writers for.
