2.0

while a lot of very real things happen in this story, and teenagers are in fact very annoying, this book was excruciatingly annoying and it did a disservice to the very real and tough shit that went down in it. these things deserve more nuance, and the fact that it was missing entirely made this book fall so so flat for me. super disappointing.
