Sigh...

I really wanted to be a part of the hype, especially since my friends are obsessed with this series. Alas, I made it 32 pages before my brain shrunk out of the sheer stupidity, so I'm giving up and moving on.

You just had to be there (tumblr 2013). I can't rate it or defend the absolute nonsense within it, but I also have reread it 3 times. At its core, there is a small, traumatized man whose ranks a fictional, uber-violent version of lacrosse over his own life. Check trigger warnings because too many apply! This author has never read the DSM and it shows, so take it all with a grain of salt and turn your brain off.

On a purely technical level was this all that great? No. But it was genuinely so entertaining I couldn't put it down. This is definitely not a book to go into thinking that it's going to be anything other than a fun time but honestly, that's what's so good about it.
