1.5

Can’t really figure out what it wants to be. Too narcissistic to be satire, not funny enough to be a comedy. It seems as if this book was written by a teenager trying to be edgy, but a teenager lacking the skills or the style to pull it off. 

It’s devoid of any personality or charm and the characters are so deeply unlikeable and boring that I just didn’t care what happened, I just wanted to be finished with it.
