Anonymous asked: Is there a book (apart from Twilight, of course!) that you really hate, even though *everyone* else either loves it or dislikes it for the wrong reasons?

A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I fucking despise that book, I hate the ending, and I once wrote an essay about how it was a worthless book to me because there was absolutely nothing I could relate to in a book that was essentially Rich White Boy Problems.

Ugh, fuck that book.
