Just…weird names? Really dark, shitty people that I didn’t care what happened to them and their shitty lives.

Chapter-to-chapter my feelings on this book changed back and forth from loving to bored and frustrated. These characters are real and lived in, for the most part. Their stories are authentic and messy. At times I couldn’t remember who was whom and who was dating whom and who was mad at whom. I also wish that there were more female characters, like give us the back story on the women in the poetry class so they don’t exist as hateful gen-z stereotypes. This sounds like I didn’t like it but it was just there was so much room for this to be amazing and it kind of fell flat at times.

Paused due to heavy subject matter and current emotional state- more of a “BRB!”
