Okay, my previous enthusiasm has fizzled out. I couldn't pinpoint my feelings but was unsettled by the whole "I'm black and white which makes Grey". Until page 160 with the quote "being black with Kurtis is almost like graduating from being mixed. And I'll take that".
The whole premise is fucked. It's that white people shit of "fuck til everyone is grey so racism won't matter". I'm ashamed I took that long to connect the dots.
I've resolved to stop reading books I don't enjoy and this really killed any lingering desire to continue. It's in the uncanny Valley region where it's not quite how teens really are and it feels OFF. Or maybe Grey is just fucking annoying. I don't know. After reading THUG, kids pulling stunts for YouTube hits just seems petty and rediculous.
