The dedications of the sense of confusion and losses in the teenage year are stunning, I would for sure give it that. The clarity, honestly of a hurt teenage boy negativing his youth, life, and relationship with death, grief. 
Despite its many greatens, some part is indeed archaic. In short love the book, but hate the sexualization of women, and (lowkey) homophobic plotline. btw not rlly related,but if it matters to u, you can definitely tell it it is written by a man lol
