The book was inspiring as in it was the first one I wrote in.
There was one character that was mostly enjoyable, the rest of the book was not. I had to read this in class and asked my teacher who said it worked great for an analysis (referring to depiction of flowers etc.) so if that is something you like then go ahead, but it was overall not a good book.
Spoilers ahead!!!
A major problem of mine was the main character, who not only saw women as sexual objects and described them as such, but he also described his mother that way. He is 17 and his girlfriend (20) is basically a manic pixie dream girl.
