Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
The writing feels too heavy. No periods and just a long sentence of disturbing things happening. I keep zoning out.

Immature but what to expect from teens talking. But I’m here for the plot.

Reading this while it snowed outside, was quite an eery experience for me to want to save my electricity bill. A very quick but dark read. Not the best writing out there but the plot of the book kept it going for me.
