He got his point across well, but I didn’t like this book. I don’t like the idea that nothing matters in life, and many of the people the MC was friends with throughout the book and him himself did pretty terrible things without remorse, which honestly made me not care what they had to say or what happened to them.

I didn't really like this one, and it’s not only because I had to read it for class. The main character was trash. And the book was boring at times. But I liked that it was nuanced and thought-provoking. This is one of those that could lead to good conversations.
