Maybe it's me, maybe I missed something, maybe I gotta give it a reread but I feel like the childhood assault was placed in there randomly at the end. It didn't feel wrong, but it didn't feel right. Not like csa ever could, but there's a time and place, ideally, and this just didn't make as much sense narratively, especially that close to the end. I suppose one could argue real life is full of surprises and the book is supposed to depict that, but to that I say bullshit. Little moments here and there about his auntie, alright, but it's a very touchy subject and I don't think it got the respect and conversation it deserved. So, negative points.

It was interesting reading this for the first time as an adult and reflecting on the themes and plot-points I couldn’t quite understand at 14
Specifically noticed what a beautiful reflection this is on masculinity
Also 1) Logan Lerman really did nail it aaaand 2) I have to read Catcher in the Rye again now
