You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky
3.0

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

After loving Janovsky's debut novel, Never Been Kissed, and seeing this book compared to Schitt's Creek, I was beyond excited to read You're A Mean One, Matthew Prince. However, I think I went in with expectations that were too high. Matthew, the protagonist, was super unlikeable. This is partially on purpose, but his "redemption" throughout the book wasn't enough for me. The novel itself was just okay and I am hoping the author's next book brings back the magic that can be found in his debut.
