I read most of this book in 2020, came back a year and a half later and finished the last 120 pages so my thoughts are not great. If I'd read it all together, I could cohesively discuss why I hated this book so much, but I cannot.

The 80s references bugged me. I don't mind it in theory, but they only existed to exist. Like the whole point of the reference was just "hey this thing existed" and that was most of the book. If it had happened less, it wouldn't have bugged me so much and if they had any purpose they wouldn't have bugged me. But just constantly bringing up stuff for the sake of bringing it up annoyed me to no end.

I thought the way Wade treated Art3mis was really gross and weird and creepy, and I don't like the narration seems to justify it. And then it's okay because he thinks she's hot. Like she explicitly tells him multiple times she's uncomfortable with various things, and then he pushes it anyway. And it felt like it was never appropriately called out. Like at the end of the day, he was in right. Even though the way he treated her was gross.

I'm sure there was more, but I don't remember. If I'd cared about this book more, I would have gone back and reread the beginning after such a long hiatus, but experiencing it once was plenty. I just wanted to finish it. It's very popular so I'm in the minority here and you should probably just ignore my thoughts and form your own opinion.
