A review by chapterfern
Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
the reading experience was like constantly waiting for it to get better and it consistently only disappointed you.

use of the r slur, excessive underage drinking in situations where mentions of drinking weren't even necessary, the annoying protagonist and how double standard-y he was, should i even go on?

i felt like if i had stuck to it, i would only hate it more and more. for the sake of my time, patience, and the author of this book, i have decided to sever my ties with it here.

i picked this book up for the synopsis. it left expectations that were never satisfied.
