"Oriental girl whose parents owned a Chinese restaurant"
"she was repugnant in her fat and deshevelment...since she was overweight, I assumed she was an idiot."
"...to think of them with their blouses unbuttoned, hands in each other's brassieries, legs spread, made me want to vomit."
"he was only fourteen." (she realized as she watched a kid touch himself).
despite all these problematic moments, there were a lot of relatable and humorous parts in her inner dialogue. nevertheless, I couldn't justify giving this any higher than 1 star.
