2.0

I had high hopes for this book, but ended up just being confused. The book goes by insanely fast and there doesn’t seem to be any real resolution to the main plot-point -SPOILER (Kim being in love with her English teacher) END SPOILER- I enjoyed the fact that the main character is a goth, plus size, Asian, lesbian(?), but there was so much this story could have done, and it just ended so abruptly.
