Book Title: Places No One Knows by Brenna Yovanoff

Book Beginnings: 
There is something awful about the sun. It rockets up from the horizon like a hot-air balloon. One minute, you're looking at the shy, glowing sliver of it. The next, it's glaring down at you like the wrath of God.
Friday 56: 
This is the functional opposite of dreams about delivering speeches to packed auditoriums while naked. It's like my subconscious is underscoring all the way the world consists of tightly knot biomes, and I am on the outside.
Comments: I am attempting to read all the YA books published in 2016 that have received three starred reviews or more, currently somewhere around 35 books. Places No One Knows is one of those books. I like the quotes but haven't read enough to know if they are representative of the writing throughout.
