Proxy by Alex London (Philomel Books, 2013)

★★☆☆☆

YA dystopian sci-fi thriller about a rich one-percenter and the Proxy who, by virtue of being a debt slave, is his whipping boy.

Interesting premise, with some dark moments, a queer MC, and fair character arcs, but the technical issues in this one killed me. Once the two main characters meet up, POV switches between them (and a third character) at will, sometimes in the same paragraph or sentence. Could not get over the tell-y writing. And, as previously mentioned, I’m not fond of Long Camping Trips.
