Tangerine

I have mixed feelings about this book. For one thing, it does do a good job setting an interesting place for the characters to interact in. The town of Tangerine feels amazing. And speaking of, there are some good characters, too. Paul's friends, like Victor, and Gino are good characters. I also like how Paul actually has to build his friendships from something. Its not like he just waltzed on in, and boom, he's popular. his friends don't even start out liking him at all, and knowing Paul, yah, that's pretty apt, but i'll get to that in a sec. So Good setting, good writing style, some good characters, what don't I like? Well, there's one problem with the book, and sadly, it's a pretty big one. paul, the main character just isn't likable. he's preachy, he's mopey, it's shown that he's intelligent, but it's really inconsistent. It didn't ruin the book for me, bout still, I think it should be addressed. Overall, Tangerine is a good read. Hopefully, you can take what I say into consideration, and see if this seems up your ally.
