So i have been reading The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry , and i'm like 50 pages in and something felt off but i just couldn't out my hands on it, and now after thinking about it i think i know what's the problem here. This book reads like a 30 something year old trying to write from the prospective of a 17 year old. But his 17 year old pov is dated of at least a decade and absolutely incongruous with the experience of a modern 17 year old. It's all very.... 2013 Tumblr. Like if this book came out in that period of time people would be making fancast of Leopold with flowercrouns on his head. Also he is so manic pixie dream boy (degrading) Idk i'll get to page 100 and see how i feel.
