Premise seemed promising but reads like fan fiction. Surprised by the high ratings for this, perhaps for a younger readership?

Paul was messy, but he was real. Other than Paul, what was the point of this book? Really I didn't understand 99% of the references mentioned, it was too "America-Centric". Still it was going great uptil the half, after that, straight downhill. And that end. it was like the author didn't know what to do with the story so they just ended it abruptly. Was that what they originally intended to do? Who knows. But it was bad. Was the ending closed? Open? Ambiguous? IDK. So many characters introduced yet no one stayed. What was the point? 2 stars only because I loved Paul.
