Blubber by Judy Blume
2.0

OMG what!? My only memory of this book from childhood was that I did not like it, and for some reason I found the cover scary (it was a chalkboard, into which I imagined scary images.) But reading it now as an adult and it's 90% spending time in the mind of a bunch of bullies?! The balance is SO off in this story--the comeuppance lasts so little time and it feels a lot like "well, it'll come for you too." I just did not enjoy being in this book at all.
