i just really didn’t like this. it made  me super uncomfortable which was expected but i also just didn’t really like the writing? i don’t understand how this is called a comedy when nothing about it was funny. maybe there was like one or two lines that were quite humorous but like nothing else about this book was comedic. i’m genuinely confused as to how people reviewing it are saying that the writing made them like H.H. when he had zero redeeming qualities and doesn’t even try to hide how awful he is, he straight up tells you multiple times that he’s a pervert. i just don’t get it tbh
