I didn't finish this mostly because of the writing. It reads like a 40 year old trying to imitate how teens talk and think. I cringed at so much of what I read of this, especially the dialogue. There were also some things that happened that just didn't sit right with me. None of these are spoilers, but if you don't want to know any details about this book, you might not want to read on. There was one scene where a friend of Max's said he knew Max was gay because he slept with a boy, which is bi/pan erasure and is never addressed. That on its own wasn't that big of a deal to me, but then the only black character in the book, Pam, was portrayed as being overdramatic and lying about microaggressions. Jordan clearly doesn't believe her when she claims someone gave her a weird look and implies it was about race. This undermines the real microaggressions black people face, in my opinion, but take what I say about race as a white person with a grain of salt. The last straw for me was when Jordan tells his friends that Max is gay without asking him who he wants to be out to or whether or not he's okay with that. I just got to a point where there was nothing I was enjoying enough to continue, especially with these little issues I noticed.
