3.5

I liked the intention of the book more than I did the story. I also had trouble reading at my normal speed because the speech was written in late 90s urban talk. So I had to do a tiny bit of decoding in my brain, the way I do when I’m trying to think in a second language, though with less difficulty.

I do like a happy ending (your definition of happy may differ from mine).
