4.0

A very hard read. The reason I read it was that this book was apparently the inspiration for Taylor Swifts "Tolerate it". 
I will definitely read it again, maybe the rating will be better then, but for now I think 4 stars are fitting.

Many things in this book didn't age well--the love story just left me asking "why?" and the portrayal of an intellectually disabled character just reads as insulting.
