2.0

This just was not doing it for me.  The only way for me to describe it is forgettable.  I thoroughly struggled to finish it; I cant leave a book unfinished, but boy was this hard. 

I sympathize with the events:
loss of a loved one, abusive parents, AIDS, and sexual orientation.
  Yet, it all fell flat with the characters themselves.  There were very few times where I felt any emotion other than boredom while reading. 

Maybe this just wasn’t for me
