What a douche of a main character and a fucked up best friend. The way they talked about their fellow female students was disgusting.

I kind of liked this book. It felt like an authentic portrayal of how a 17 year old boy would deal with the serious illness and death of an acquaintance. There was way too much talk of boners, and definitely some racist caricatures. It didn't make me feel anything, but I don't think it was supposed to.

Felt like the writing was all over the place. I get the premise, and it wasn't difficult to follow, but it was distracting & a bit boring. I never found myself getting sucked into the story or attached to any of the characters. It felt like it was all surface & not enough depth. There were some amusing excerpts, but otherwise this novel just didn't do anything for me.
