I didn’t find any of this particularly funny. Wasn’t looking for comedy but they didn’t emphasize “kind of” enough in the title. Maybe it’s a better book for a teenager but this felt angsty and broody. A little “Go Ask Alice,” if you will. The dialogue was engaging and the writing was fine…but the story was insignificant and plot was lackluster.
