This reads just like a John Green book. or is it the other way around? How is this not YA?

- takes place at a school
- centers around a dysfunctional family
- socially awkward kids
- schoolyard fucking around

Are you going to claim that Catcher in the Rye is a John Green book too?

no but it's definitely a YA book as well because of the themes.

Bimbofication is a shit tier fetish. Unless it's a loyal pregnant wife cheating on her husband with a nigger.

It isn't YA because it has subtance. It's like calling Blood Meridian genre fiction.

"Can you say there is no symbolic relation between unwrapping a Christmas gift and undressing a lady?"

Does anyone else love the chapters with Hal and the other kids just pissing about? They are so cozy they may as well be a Mike Judge sitcom.

the don gately parts were very interesting but i found myself craving those random conversations at ETA.

Don's parts got a little repetitive but the ETA sections were nice. Everything relating to Gately's dreams and visions felt pretty Lynchian.
