The Wrong Kind of Weird by James Ramos

2.25

His sneakers squeaked on the linoleum floor as he made his way to his next class. The hallways were filled with students rushing around, lockers slamming, laughter flowing. It was all a mindless melting pot of personalities… until she appeared and he couldn’t help but smile.

The Wrong Kind of Weird is a YA contemporary following Cameron as he navigates high school and the relationships he’s found himself in.

I wanted to love this book… but it just didn’t work for me. The constant internal monologue for our main character was overwhelming and I felt no emotion or chemistry for not only the character himself, but the relationships and friendships in his life. The dialogue was cringey and I was really bored throughout most of this story. Also the constant explanation of Pokémon and Dragonball Z was just not something I was interested in.

If you like YA novels dealing with high school drama, the theater scene, and anime… then you may enjoy this read.
