It’s weird how you just inevitably bond with some books, although you perhaps didn’t even enjoy them. I think it’s the same thing that happened to me after reading Catcher in the Rye, where I kind of absolutely hated all of the characters, hated what happened in general in the book and didn’t even enjoy the writing style very much. However, it still made me emotional for whatever reason and that’s why I bonded with it. 

In conclusion, cishet teenage boys suck, just like the book itself, but I am somehow able to still feel empathy for them, which also sucks since I would rather prefer to be a cold asshole with no emotions. 

The three stars are just because that’s the middle ground for me and I don’t know what else to do.
