I like this book but I have to admit, I don’t love it. Something feels awkward in the way the male writer writes a teenage female protagonist. She’s weirdly flat — her emotions and behaviors seem cliche and phoned in, generally inauthentic.
I will do my best to finish the book. I don’t hate it, but at times I’m pretty sure I could write something better. It is written at no higher than a high-school reading level. Very (overly) simple prose with the occasional dictionary word. Also a great deal of repetition and limited variety in word choice.
