Genuinely one of the worst books I've ever read that I chose not to DNF. This is dumb as fuck. This is written by someone who has not even spoken to a teenager outside of telling them what to do in a decade. No one acts, speaks, or feels like this. Things happen in days when they would take years. The pacing is terrible, the prose contrived and narcissistic, and the plot absurd. Also, Sparks has clearly never even smoked a cigarette, holy shit.

Homophobic, ableist, and fatphobic to an insane degree.
