This book is a…mixed bag. For one, there are quotes and passages I want tattooed on my *soul*. It’s so beautifully written with discussions about class, queerness, popularity, fame, etc.. But, that can also be it’s downfall. Instead of being a book with a clear narrative structure/ plot, Beautiful world, where are you feels more like a discussion on opinions from the author than an actual story. Although this didn’t bother me as much, I can see how some would want to DNF it after around 100 of nothing but day to day life and emails.
