The writing style was a problem for me. The short, rapid sentences were jarring. I couldn't focus on anything but the bad writing when I was reading it with my eyeballs only. Once I switched to immersive reading I was able to enjoy it a little more. I know it's written from a 16yo perspective who thinks he's great at everything, but it all felt very bro coded and it was so distracting. It's trying too hard and not accomplishing anything groundbreaking. I was just bored. I'm going to try the next book because everyone says this one is the hardest to get through. Hoping for the best.
