I know I'm in a tiny minority here, but I just don't get why people love this. I must be missing something, but I just didn't get into the characters, the location, the story. It felt like a teenage diary. I'm not going to go on about what I didn't like because, well, because you might be one of the people who love it.
(Maybe it suffered because I read it straight after Couples by Updike, which is so full of language, and this felt so bereft of it.)
