I enjoyed it!! I was inbetween giving it a 3.5-4 just because I liked it, I didn’t have any big issues, but also it wasn’t that intriguing for me and I wasn’t ever on the edge of my seat or anything. 
But, I also want to add that i’m not really the targeted demographic, as an asexual. A lot of Jay’s thoughts weren’t really relatable to me, and the only character I felt connected to was Max, as someone who’s genderqueer! I feel like allosexuals would relate to this book more then I did, but it was still nice!

While the story deals really well with lots of difficult issues, from poverty to racism and homophobia, it didn't exactly make sense to me. 99% of the time, the characters were incredibly immature, like Jay's single-minded focus on hooking up and having sex, but then for the other 1% they consistently displayed amazing emotional maturity around these issues specifically. Definitely gave off the vibe that the author had an agenda (lol) in those moments, even though the characters didn't demonstrate that maturity elsewhere. Done differently, I can imagine it would have made the characters feel fuller, more real, but it just didn't quite pull off to me. I also can't identify with the sex obsession/using people as a means for sex, and that attitude really turned me off. Though, to be fair,

Jay does figure out that it's problematic by the end of the book, so good for him.

Lying Cheating

thelizzielibrary's review against another edition

4.0

Okay so I see why this is a popular book, and I don't totally disagree. It's a well formed storyline about mistakes when coming off age, and it avoids the biggest annoyance for me: characters apologizing when they didn't do anything wrong. But... I don't like dubious cheating stories so this won't be a favorite.
