After thinking it over, I think I am going to revise this story down to a 4/10. First, I think the split score approach was a bad way to capture my thoughts. I technically have a split opinion on all the books I review, so idk why this would be a more explicit approach here, as if I've chosen to do anything different. Second, I am increasingly convinced that this book was written in response to events similar to Steubenville, which I mentioned in the review. Nothing of the specifics have changed, but I do think the inapplicability of this book to events in the real world seriously handicaps the core theme.
