To put it this way, the book most definitely feels like it was written by a teenage boy. There are multiple references to sex that are raunchy and really distracted me from the main message. The narrator, Craig, cannot describe a single female character without it feeling vile. There’s even a line where a character’s breasts are said to roll along with her eyes (I had to put the book down and reflect).
Not only that but the characters all felt two dimensional. As you can probably assume, none of the female characters are there for anything other than to be fantasy material for Craig.
Oh yeah, there’s also slurs in here, as well as just really offensive descriptions. The trans character mentioned on the back cover appears ONCE, and it’s only to be some sort of twisted comedic relief. We never get any of her story, and the scene she was in left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don’t understand why I tortured myself with finishing the book.

BUT, I really cannot be bothered with books written by men tbh,,, apart for the blatant romanticisation of mental illness and suicide,, the way the main character kept on having the most disrespectful, disgusting thoughts about girls just triggered me immensely,, not the mention the random ass men that kept on sexualizing the 15 year old Noelle..
