3.0

the synopsis of wild ground is so interesting, but i can't say the same for the actual book 😭. i was disappointed by the story as a whole to be honest. i didn't see what was so special about danny and neef's "connection" or how they "loved each other so much". i honestly think they were both kind of shitty and toxic together and it's better that they're apart anyway lmao. maybe that's the point but i don't know i feel like the author was making it out to be some really special relationship that the main character could never really forget, but then didn't actually succeed in letting the reader in on the so-called uniqueness of their relationship. 

i thought danny was kind of a dick, and neef is a boring character. i wasn't particularly impressed by the writing either. overall i would call this book very bleak and just not worth reading, especially because it's 337 pages. so yeah this one just wasn't for me!
