I one this book in one day because I wanted it to be over as quickly as possible. I have no idea why this is a cult YA novel. 
 Also, I'm so done with the "dying of x illness" trope. Why are so many YA authors obsessed with it? 
 The narrator in this book seemed whiny and annoying and very self-centered. He reminded me of this quote from The Social Network: "You're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole." 
 Along with that, every time a book is dramatic about high school cliques I want to punch myself in the eyeball. The only thing this book got right is how awful cafeteria food is.
