The first story was silly, overly dramatic, and a good teen holiday time. And the good times ended there.
John Green's short story was incredibly, horrendously awful. It's dripping with misogyny. I hated the whole thing. It's never okay to have a female character say she's happy someone called her a slut because it means they view her as a sexual being instead of “one of the guys.” Plus everything felt forced and lame. The pacing was terrible. I hated everything about it. There are so many misogynistic moments that I almost threw the book away, but instead I rage-finished it. It was probably the wrong choice, but oh well.
The third story was somewhat forgettable, but I remember the characters buying a tiny pig. There's no such thing as a 5 lb fully grown pig. I hope people don't read this nonsense and think it's true.
