The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
slow-paced

DO NOT READ, SLUR USED.
Good concept, bad execution. I found the book incredibly slow and difficult to read at times. Not to mention the book also used the R slur to describe a character in a 'heartfelt moment'. This is extremely offensive and as someone who is disabled I am shocked that this was even allowed by the editors and publishers. I am actually disgusted by this.
