I can't give a full review for this as I couldn't finish it. Despite its premise and great cover drawing me in, the writing makes it clear I'm not its intended audience
It felt like it was trying to be a mix of Holden Caulfield and a Bret Easton Ellis teenage protagonist but less well written or nuanced. It also felt misogynistic, and combined with a need to be much more tightly edited I had to put it down.

1.5* for the cover and potential based on the premise.

Thank you to Clash Book and Netgalley for a digital review copy of "Shakespeare In South Florida" in exchange for my voluntary review.

This sounded like such a great idea, but the voice of this narrator is so problematic and the voice is immature.
As somebody who has worked with 17 year-old children for the past decade, the voice is wrong.

I wanted this to be so much better but it needs some heavy overhauls.

I wanted to love this book, but it just wasn't it for me. Seemed very immature writing and from a teenager.

This was just not good

I thought the writing in general was not good and it was even at times misogynistic

I did not enjoy this book. The writing and the story both seemed like it came from the 17 year old male protagonist. Because it was all around average I would rate it 1.5 stars.
