Unfortunately this one was not for me. I loved the mixed-media of this book, but otherwise did not enjoy the reading experience. The writing style didn’t do anything for me and I really didn’t like the constant acronym usage. Sahara was a compelling character, and I related a lot to her relationship to her mind and body, but ultimately the vibe felt kind of hollowly edgy. I might have just come to this book at the wrong time and would have resonated with it more if I were in the right mood, so I do think this was worth picking up!
