3.0

I say it rarely but the movie was much better. I feel like epistolary version of Charlie was really unbelievable and I didn't connect to any characters, they all felt pretty flat to me.

I like how it brought up important topics but it was a bit like torture to read especially near the end when it was being dragged on for so long.

Top tier YA even after all these years

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
