1.0

I was really hoping the whole time that the narrator would improve by the end of the story but I was very disappointed. Do teenage boys really talk like this?? Or is the author just imagining that's what they talk like now? Can they really be that awful and obnoxious? Also JD's 'secret' was probably just about the stupidest reveal I've ever read in a book. Add in a sprinkle or two of homophobia and you've got what adds up to a truly terrible book. Spoiler alert: the dog doesn't die so I guess that's what the one star is for.
