How hard is Thirsty to read?

Thirsty scores 26 out of 100 for difficulty on ReadingRate, making it relatively accessible. The score is a weighted composite of nine measures: four of how hard the prose is to parse, five of how hard the meaning is to extract.

Vocabulary: 24 out of 100: A young adult novel for readers aged 14 to 18 about college life and drinking points to clear contemporary vocabulary. It sits near It Ends with Us in register.
Sentence structure: 27 out of 100: Contemporary YA fiction of about 89,000 words typically uses direct, accessible sentences. The syntax resembles Beach Read more than any literary anchor.
Abstraction: 30 out of 100: The premise is concrete: a first-year student, a sorority, a relationship and a drinking problem. Like It Ends with Us, it works through personal experience rather than theory.
Information density: 28 out of 100: A single-protagonist YA story of moderate length keeps its threads few and its pace comfortable. Density sits close to Beach Read.
Narrative indirection: 28 out of 100: Contemporary YA about addiction and identity usually states feelings plainly. Some inference around Blake's denial about her drinking is likely, but it stays near Beach Read in directness.
Symbolic density: 28 out of 100: The title and the sorority setting suggest a few motifs, but the book reads as realist YA with a light symbolic layer, like Beach Read.
Ironic distance: 22 out of 100: An earnest coming-of-age story about addiction and self-discovery invites sincere engagement. It sits near It Ends with Us in emotional directness.
Resolution withholding: 28 out of 100: Blake's choice between herself and her relationship frames a clear arc, and YA fiction usually closes its main questions. Closure is likely nearer It Ends with Us than any open-ended anchor.
Structural complexity: 24 out of 100: Nothing indicates experimental form; a single-protagonist contemporary novel most likely moves linearly. It resembles Beach Read in structure.
