Or as I like to call it, “The Book of Long.” A group of inauthentic-feeling teenagers have introspective ramblings while muddling their way through a supernatural crisis. My main problem with this is that all the character’s interiority read the same. I also didn’t really care for the ending since the main characters agency for finding themselves an acceptable conclusion was largely overrun by the circumstance of their predicament. But overall it was fine.
