I just read this one and I liked it enough that it overrode how annoyed I was at the audiobook reader, who kept putting on these really bad accents. At the onset I kept gritting my teeth at this accent that kept slipping from Irish, to bad Australian, to a sort of over-enunciated posh that some Americans think sound British. But by the middle of the book I was so invested that it was just how these characters spoke.
Anyway, yeah, I loved that it wasn't "yay, I'm a teen hero!" and instead it was "this is bullshit, I'll do this but the adults should be doing it." And that she didn't forgive people just because they were sorry. The people who died shouldn't have died and she made sure they remembered.

And the sourdough starter was awesome.
