Either of these on their own would have been frustrating, but the two together really took away from some of the positive experiences I had reading the novel. Mostly, it was the combination of shaky characterization and clunky storytelling that eventually got to me. On the other hand, there were quite a few things that irritated me while reading this book-kind of like an itchy sweater. ![]() It’s also heartwarming as hell, which (young) adults or not, is something we all need a little bit of now and then. ![]() On the one hand, Hello, Groin is as earnest a teen novel as you’ll ever find.
