Did not finish book.

it did sound like a really interesting book, i really did want to like and finish the book but there were too many things making me uncomfortable to be able to continue with it.
but omg the characters, THE CHARACTERS!!! i could not deal with them any longer. me personally, they were too insensitive for me, maybe that makes me a sensitive person or i can’t take a joke but no dude. too much happening with so very little ppl
they were making fun of the girl for having a breakdown over sausages (ofc afterwards when it happened) and were upset with this one girl who stood up for the one who broke down.
the mc when it comes to mental health, referring to everyone there as crazy, that he doesn’t belong there, belittling everything / everyone.
what made me really put the book down was the newest member of the 45 day program. idc to remember his (or any of their) name(s). but him especially god i cannot.
absolutely nothing wrong with questioning ur sexuality, trust me i’ve been there, but this dude just did it all in the wrong ways. he continued to jack off while knowing that there was another person in the restroom with him, HE SNUCK INTO THE MC’S ROOM AND JACKED HIM OFF WHILE HE WAS ASLEEP, coerced the mc into touching him back, they see one another in the bathroom, he’s ab to shower when he TELLS the mc TO SUCK HIS DICK. i couldn’t sit around to read if they went through with it or not i was so uncomfortable. had this all been 100% consensual on both parties’ accounts it’s fine but i could not deal with this half assed confused consent.
yes i understand bc of the circumstances and the environment they’re in, they’re trying to see things through a positive light (as much as they can given the situation) but i was too uncomfortable to fully enjoy the book.
