This book is a slow burn. Maybe the payoff is worth it, but an f-slur (which I let slide for a couple of audiobook-hours) and a t-slur, neither with anything resembling plot relevance, and it soured my mood on this book. At this point I feel like my time has been wasted by some boring teenagers with boring teenager problems.

If I want to immerse myself in homophobia and climate apocalypse from the perspective of a teenager then I could just hang out at the local community college. No thanks.
