To go from giggling out loud at the line "I've forgotten more about the Roman Empire than you Will ever know in your life" to hate reading/skimming, this book was wild. I should have loved it because I like books and unlikely friendships and watching people deal with grief. But this felt... flat? I only understood Characters through the eyes of others, and those perspectives were Incongruous with how the character Presented themselves. Also, many of their problems felt so small, which I understand May be an unfair criticism. But, it wasn't for me.
