Dylan lived
a life of failure and had a mad crush on this girl. Maybe he could throw a
party just to get her to notice him.
Everyone
hated Dylan, who loves hate. What a strange weirdo. He’s a sociopath that
stopped using social media but was still on it.
“Social
media is like a broken mirror. It doesn’t show me as I am, and it’s brought me
7 years of bad luck.” (LOC 98)
Why would
any girl like Dylan? He was “a dishonest, smug, unpleasant, unemployed coward.”
Dylan is so cynical and self-deprecating, flaunting it with refreshing wit and
laughable irony. (For ex: “I’m seeking my fortune, I just wish it would stop
hiding.”)
Really, the
whole group of friends is whacked. It’s easy to get into these characters’
affairs. They’re so used to chatting online that they never really learned to
talk to people. They were “more at ease over the internet and more awkward in
real life.” (LOC 260)
Misunderstandings
and chaos at their social gathering. People are jealous and crushing on each
other. They were such deviants with wanting to break each other up through
trickery, lies, and deceit. How were they even friends?
Interesting
read overall. It was fun to see the mess they get into. Dylan was infuriating
as hell, but funny, too! Sadie was just a psycho! Heather is a jealous freak.
Tom was a pompous, walking news reel.
My rating: 4 stars
