![]() ![]() There were so many conversations about women and telling women what to do and how women looked and just his general ideas were so irritating and frustrating. But it was just so very "male" in a way that got on my nerves. This was very obviously written by a man for young men! And that's okay! Like, I've seen lots of women say they loved this, and I'm sure they did, because it's a great book. He's flawed and is very much a teenage boy, but that's one of the reasons why I couldn't get into it. ![]() He was basically obsessed with this girl and would NOT leave her alone. I kind of was irritated with him in the beginning, but it grew to hatred. After 50% in, I hated Del, the main character. It breaks down topics like toxic masculinity for them in a way that isn't an info dump and seems pretty accessible. I think it's a book that's really important for young men to read. I think this should be on reading lists and in school libraries. ![]() I found myself frustrated that races weren't mentioned before I just decided to assume everyone was Black they talked like it and the culture was there, so it definitely worked. I love Jameer! Also the friend group is very diverse and sweet. I definitely chuckled to myself on certain lines. It's almost four in the morning and I stayed up to finish because I just had to know what was going to happen next. Argh! I have such conflicting feelings about this! ![]()

He was a threat, or an animal, or a curse, or a blight, or a joke. You couldn't, because the Negro was never an individual. If you looked at them from inside the framework of a fat weekly salary, and you thought of colored people as naturally criminal, then you didn't really see what any Negro looked like.
