52% and suddenly we get another character's pov after 100% Riley so far? wtf? In other news Riley is dumb, like he's 27, but I was thinking he acts more like 17, but now it's like he's a particularly dumb 17 year old. Also, what planet is the author on? You don't just "climb" a palm tree without equipment. Oh, and kid had a fight w toxic BF where, honestly, I had to take toxic BF's side. dnf is tempting me

Ah, the old "mere illustration" thing. You really need to ditch the BF dude.

Not only not is he connecting the obvious dots, it's like he's completely unfamiliar with the idea that dots can be connected. Also the way the backstory is delivered seems a bit late and suboptimal. idk. Not uninteresting, more like the writing is just very slightly off. Also his BF is very sus and toxic and needs to go.

Feels a bit more dated than I'd expect for a 10 year old book.

This has been a very frustrating read. It's not awful in the sense of bad grammar or being boring or anything, more like a lack of internal logic in the details. It hasn't quite hit dnf threshold, but then I think I could be using this time to read something good instead. :/
Those marginal ones are frustrating.
I've considered picking up something else alongside, but that usually ends up being a kind of non-commital dnf, and it's not like it's super long. I can probably push through the rest in another hour, hour and a half.
Good luck! Hope it turns out to be relatively painless.
