To put it in as few words as possible the book is okay, it's not horrible or by any means great. It can pretty much be summed up by the opening line with that happening to the main character instead. It's just the main character because I refuse to call them a protagonist because they are hard to sympathize with. Maybe that was the author's goal, they wanted the reader to hate them but it doesn't make the book any better, you just don't feel anything for the main character at all which makes the book hard to read at times. Luckily the book is mercifully short which is about the only thing it has going for it. If you want to read it tread carefully because it's barely worth its weight as kindling for a fire, much less a piece of literature.

Honestly, don't read it unless you have literally nothing else and are getting on a short bus ride, because at least once you're done you can throw it away in a nearby trash can.
