The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

4.25

dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

I think people are too quick to write this one off because of how insufferable Holden is, and maybe that’s just because he’s so relatable to anyone who was a bit too edgy as a teenager, but I finished this in one sitting. He’s a captivating character, and though his journey feels as though it went nowhere, I think that’s the point (?)
