This is somehow the most terrible ass book I have ever read and also very comforting, I annotated it when I read it for the first time, and those annotations are very personal now and I’m almost emotionally attached to the book?!?! Like it means so much to me especially because of how much the musical means to me. But from a unbiased standpoint? This book is the worst thing I have ever read. The weird self harm thing at the party, the slut shaming, the borderline childporn, and the zero character development. There was not one redeemable character. I would say rich but I fucking hate him after the childporn scene at the party. Micheal mell (book) is the worst character I have ever read about, he is absolutely disgusting.

Use of the r word, the m word, and the n word. Extreme amounts of sexism and misogyny. THERES a chapter in the book who goes to party and takes photos of girls. He takes photos of two teens having sex and posts them online. Calls himself palsy like in appearance. What does that even mean!!!! And there’s also driving under the influence of drugs without a drivers license or any driving experience. Arson/a fire. Just every aspect of this book feels like a violation.
