I'm sure I'll end up reading the book, but I'll brace myself.

But what you said about how you were able to enjoy the book as a whole while hating the characters and how the author makes the characters real, that makes me want to give this book a try.

As if the point was for them to be so hated, because they were realistic as well. I am not sure about this book because it seems like a good read in a twisted way. I think I am approving of it.

I still haven't read This So...Fantastic review!<br />I still haven't read This Song Will Save Your Life, but I will soonish. I promise. <br />I'm with you and I love real flawed characters, because we're all flawed. BUT based on your character break down I don't know if I could get over all the character rage. Awful parents can tend to lower my rating and enjoyment of a book as well. <br />Is Peter stupid? Maybe he just likes the attention that some crazy stalker girl would come hundreds of miles just to find him. Restraining order alert. But to each their own. I guess...<br />There's a perfect quote from Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda that says the same thing. I will admit to white washing as well. Unless the author tells us the characters ethnicity. I hate myself for doing it. I'm just glad more and more books are becoming more and more diverse and it's helping with the white washing. <br />“White shouldn't be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn't even be a default.”<br />Happy reading!<br />Brittany @ <a href="http://thisisthestoryofmyreadinglife.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow"> This is the Story of My(Reading) Life </a>BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-49605127206810539072015-07-10T13:12:09.758+01:002015-07-10T13:12:09.758+01:00Damn Arden does sound a little crazy.

The parents sound particularly slap worthy.<br /><br />I'm like you on the picturing people as always being white unless I'm told otherwise. Thinking about it, I find that I don't actually feel guilty about it. I guess because the only thing I know is being white, and it's not like I would be disappointed if a character isn't white. That would be crazy.pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413273102522309871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-23441776132337989462015-07-10T09:25:29.871+01:002015-07-10T09:25:29.871+01:00Yeah, can't say I'm feeling like picking u...Yeah, can't say I'm feeling like picking up this book to be honest.
