Minor: Grief and Death of parent

4.0

The main character is such a selfish, pretentious asshole and I hate how many of his exact thoughts I've had. Shameful simil rities aside, much of the time he's really just a normal (unfortunately) gross, misogynistic, fatphobic jerk. Honestly unclear on if this is Hornby's intention or just his reality. :\
