If Jay has a million haters, I'm one of them. If Jay has one hater, I'm it. If Jay has zero haters, I'm dead.

The only reason I kept reading was that I wanted everything to come up and everyone to hate him.

Jay's happy ending is my villain origin story.

I understand that teens have hormones going crazy and I know what it means to suddenly find yourself in a queer environment after spending so long with only cis/straight people, but that doesn't excuse Jay being a dick from page one and refusing to take accountability.
