2.0

This book was really boring until about halfway, when they started having sex. Then it was gross. 

And after that, I really enjoyed it. I liked the quality of the feeling described of being young and drunk and on a night out that feels magical. I liked the quality of wistfulness at the end. 

But the first half of the book and the gross sex descriptions really took up too much of the book.
