me, getting ready to write this review: well, this is going to hurt like a motherfcker.

i'm so sorry. i lowkey expected to be in the minority with my thoughts on this book, but i just don't get what all the hype is all about. i might just not have the emotional range to comprehend the characters or the events of this book. i might just be too thick-skinned to get the deepness of this narrative. i don't know. but something didn't click properly with me, and i am feeling a bit sad about it.
it's just... normal people, both the book and the general population, is so boring!! i kept waiting for the story to have a point or an impact, and for me it had neither. nice writing style and some memorable lines, but so rare throughout that it didn't really save much of this book for me.
