Read this in one sitting during my lunch. Featuring a narrator that doesn't get over a childhood crush on another girl. There is a sexual violence arc featuring some school bullies at the beginning. Like every instance of sexual violence in a story written by a straight white man, my biggest question is "Was this really necessary?" The usual answer applies here too: no. 

Some people like these sorts of explorations of character. I am not some people.
