I know teenagers are dumb and I think the author did a good job of realistically depicting dumb teenagers, but almost everything about this book made me mad. I also realize that this isn't necessarily for me. I'm a white cis queer woman in her 20s that just can't relate to a lot of the experiences that these characters had. I definitely don't think this book was poorly written, it just wasn't my particular cup of tea.
