I saw this recommended somewhere online and I really don't get the affection for it. It's long, repetitive, and generally tiresome. None of the actions seem particularly motivated and the thoughts and dialogue are painfully bad. it's really endless. The writing is actually so bad that I just kept thinking about how funny it was that the audiobook narrator had to read it with a straight face. This book has one of my pet peeves in the genre where it feels like one of the people has borderline personality disorder and the other person is a stoic who's always apologizing. I don't think BPD is very much fun in person and it's not fun in entertainment either. I don't know if I'm completely opposed to the kind of age gap in this book, but although this kid is like 19, he acts like a child and that makes it creepy for me.
