Not a fan of the stream of consciousness prose

Rambling and ranting and juvenile, it was like a grittier, more desperate version of The Outsiders.

When all the love in the world isn't what you need because you're already invisible! Dunn encapsulates the pain and the desire for solitude in that gross wonderful realism that I'm always craving. What else can I say, I love Dutch and I love this book.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read anything that better captured misfit teenage girlhood. Gross, embarrassing, harrowing, and absolutely gripping. There’s nothing precious about this protagonist.
