So many slurs a racial slur was used when the word muck or gunk should've been used. (That one wasn't intentional but still I noticed it and went ๐why?)
I mean if I had a nickel for every time I reread a book that was required reading in my middle and high school English classes featuring a character who was a disabled boy who had epilepsy and his best friend was a big jock / brute and slurs pertaining to the boy's disability kept being tossed around, I'd have 2 nickels! Which isn't a lot but!!! It's weird it happened twice right?!!
Anyway Kevin reminds me of my high school best friend. That's both a good and bad thing, mostly good, and it does make me miss her more. She's not dead, I just haven't spoke to her.
Another nice note, I could still hear my 6th grade teacher's voice when I read this ๐ Isn't that something?

I tagged Toxic friendship because Kevin was mean for no reason sometimes.nat_loves_books's review against another edition
