The main character was terribly written, possibly had some interesting concepts but terrible execution. Sounds like someone who thought about death a little bit and then decided to make a preachy book to teens delivered in the form of one of the dumbest most shallow MCs possible.

Book that takes itself too seriously but in reality is extremely cliche and tacky. This had a lot of potential but so many elements ruined it.
