The Friend

Overall, this book was just OK. Not great, not terrible. The writing was mediocre, and the dialogue was mostly cringe-worthy. The author would suddenly get sidetracked at random times with what would happen in the future, which was pretty jarring. I was hoping this would be a sweet story about two guys becoming friends, but most of the interactions recounted in this book were them bickering all the time, and not in a fun bantering way. It wasn't endearing; instead I just felt a lot of secondhand embarrassment while reading it because it was so juvenile.
