'At the end of the year, several girls in my AP English class burned a stack of the books on our English teacher’s driveway.'
That was the first time I ever blatantly disliked an assigned book. I kinda got the hype around how the author's description of winter was so important, but by god, I have never hated a book character more than I hated Ethan. He’s creepy, boring, and it was just so annoying to read his POV. God, just thinking about how many class discussions I had to sit through about fuckingPenguin Random House"I expected to enjoy it because I'd heard many times that it was good, but for me it was.
Perhaps it was because it was a genre I typically would not read, but I barely made it through the first few chapters before having to put it down. Somehow I soldiered on for several more chapters when I just couldn't do it anymore. I had zero motivation to pick it back up again and honestly didn't mind at all that I failed that English assignment. My teacher looked like she wanted to slap me when I straight up said that I thought the book was boring during a class discussion.
