3.0

Holden is quite a sad character to be 100% honest. He’s clearly hasn’t accepted the death of his brother and uses a hateful persona to shield his true emotions. This does not excuse his behavior, although he is aware of his wealth he spends it aimlessly and without consequence. Overall a pretty average read.
