i think you need to have a certain level of empathy to really understand the book. a lot of really complex topics are narrated in detail and makes you think and reflect deeply. it is slow/medium pace so the build up to these (potentially triggering) descriptions is more digestible.
necessary read for anyone looking to further understand post modern feminism

3.0
it had its moments a few times, and it definitely has a certain vibe that im guessing is the selling point to people who love it but. overall as a whole it just sucks in my opinion
which i am not shocked about, at the end of the day it Is a white man attempting to write about the deep and intimate lives and struggles of teenage girls, and from white boys perspectives no less so.
been wanting to read it and now read it for a challenge but i was disappointed and its unlikely i'll ever reread.
also didnt like the slurs but thats just something you have to live with when reading older books unfortunately (even tho this isnt even That old yk. but whatever)
