this book can't possibly be written by a man, it feels like younger me at the ages of 11, 14, 15 and 16 all came together in a room to put in their troubles, thoughts, fears and feelings into a book that was then warped into being told by the most unreliable of narrators- obsessed teenage boys. the language flows in a way nothing I've read ever has and the content to description ratio is so perfect for me it feels like a duvet covering me in a cold winter
