Ok so the reviews on this book are stellar. I just saw there is a Netflix series based on it. I’m half way through and reading it is like getting a tooth pulled. What is the big to do??? If you read this book, please tell me if there is something beyond the half way mark...a turn around? An escape from vulgar language and unnecessary teenage sex scenes??? Something?? Anything???
