It was confusing to be completely honest, I didn’t get what was going on in some parts but I connected the dots roughly.

It started out funny and easy then it went downhill from there and boring. It's not the worst book. But not really the best either.

dark emotional reflective slow-paced

4.0

It’s very different from the movie on the same way that “Perks of Being a Wallflower” is different from the movie. It’s in more of a character-focused, almost diary entry format with significantly less plot than the movie.
