Honestly just from reading some parts i can say that im not surprised that this is a major hit.
It does what these YA novels do best, create an over dramatic story that is supposed to represent the current youth, mix it with lots of sex scenes and sex talk and make as much drama as possible.
So all the boomers and young teens buy it and go "Wow, so this is what is happening with other people, they are all in bohemian type relations and backstab eachother and do emotional abuse".
It basically creates a hyper reality ships it to people who clearly dont engage in this sort of things and make them think that this is what is happening.

Even the amazon reviews are a bunch of people giving 1 star ratings saying how annoying and stupid the story is. This book just feeds off from cynicism and paranoia.

I have for a couple of years, but quited after realising the whole bullshit effort of it just to gain a tiny bit of weight. Paying monthly to go into a gym early in the morning 3 or more days a week to flex your muscles, putting up with all kinds of assholes and flexers while eating a diet that you dont have the stomach for and counting calories just because some shitty dating coach on the internet or some gym enthusiast told you that it is "manly" it totally worth it eh?
Well not for me.

Ideals are wheels in the head that people drill into you, if its called "ideal" then you know its a bullshit point of reference in space. I much prefer to do whatever i want and feel like, for example, reading than trying to appeal to an ideal, or a ghost. I am not even slightly worried with those concepts of forced "self actualization" and "strive to achive it" memery if they are not in my will and self-interest.

>obviously vegetarianism/veganism is more ethical a lifestyle than eating meat
Fucking lol
The irony of this post is that you then procede to talk about people's egos for not aligning with your morals.
>Muh eating meat is bad for the enviroment
>Procedes to eating vegies imported from 20 diferent countries using super ships that polute more than all the cars in europe combined instead of eating some locally raised cow because of "muh farts".
Unless you eat your vegies locally you really arent helping that much. Not even going to argue with your urbanoid "b-but killings animals is still bad" bullshit.
Most vegans are nothing but giant shitheads acting as if they have moral superiority just because they believe their shit is more "ethical".

>/b/.
This is how you spot an underage or a mental handicap.
Anyone with a 80+ iq and older than 16 wouldnt browse that shit board. /b/ is nothing but underage retards thinking they are in the deep web and porn dumpers. As far as i know even /r9k/ serves more as a casual board with no set topic than /b/.
The only thing i praise /b/ for is to serve as a massive sponge that absorbs the majority of the retards and newcomers that think 4chan is some cool ass hidden group.
