Noooooooope. Congrats to this book for making me create a 'did not finish' shelf just for it, the first book in recent years that I have no intention of ever ever finishing. I gave this a good go, I really did, I read almost 90 pages of the 300. And just no. 
 Pro: It's really realistic! It reads like it was written by a 17 year old boy. 
 Con: It reads like it was written by a 17 year old boy. 
 Writing is super simplistic and very basically descriptive, I didn't find much joy in the narrator spelling out everything he saw and said. There seems to be a whole host of unnecessary jabs at minority groups, including at least two at physically and mentally challenged students. Racism. Sexism. Maybe this is one of those YA books that you need to read as a teen to find any value in, and maybe it kicks up towards the end, but I have absolutely no desire to find out. 
 So many people seem to really enjoy this one, but this officially ties with Be More Chill for my least favourite book of all time. Which is a shame, because the movie has Nick Offerman in it and actually looks pretty cute!
