MixedSo, as much as I loved the way that Janet Fitch wrote this story, I started to just get more and more annoyed about all of the melodramatics surrounding this very unlikable young man's life. I think at the core of this novel, there is a really interesting question about how well we can ever really know another person, but it really was the writing within this book that kept me going.
What made the match, strongest first
