uncleasa's review against another edition

3.0

this book is way Way overhyped in my humble opinion. 
it had its moments a few times, and it definitely has a certain vibe that im guessing is the selling point to people who love it but. overall as a whole it just sucks in my opinion
which i am not shocked about, at the end of the day it Is a white man attempting to write about the deep and intimate lives and struggles of teenage girls, and from white boys perspectives no less so.
been wanting to read it and now read it for a challenge but i was disappointed and its unlikely i'll ever reread.
also didnt like the slurs but thats just something you have to live with when reading older books unfortunately (even tho this isnt even That old yk. but whatever)
