Noah Can't Even

I knew this book was not going to work out for me when I came across Noah'd. What is that?

But no, that was not the only reason I dropped it. I did not like the writing, the dialogue was weird (I have no idea who talks like that ever) and I didn't like Noah very much (I think he was supposed to be nerdy and quirky, but instead he was all kinds of cringe). I was so confused about his mother too, I didn't understand why she would advertise herself while apparently keeping her job a secret, and I got pretty strong abusive and/or neglectful vibes from her without even actually having her on page.
