The Long Run by James Acker

Written like two teenage boys’ lengthy streams of consciousness that made this feel way longer than it actually was. I get that that’s probably what it’s meant to read like so it can feel authentic, but it just wasn’t all that appealing to me personally. I felt like I had been reading forever only to realize I was about 25% of the way through. Then this happened again only to realize I was still only 50% of the way through. I don’t dnf but I was very tempted to with this. Not exactly objectively long by any means but had no need to be as long as it was. It was so repetitive and just dragged on and on. 

The depictions of depression and complicated family dynamics were appreciated.
