The thing is, the movie presents Hobie subjectively, as the perfect embodiment of “the boy you think the girl you like digs”: he’s rebellious, mature, handsome, has cool stuff, etc. By design, it’s unclear how much of that is true and how much is just Miles’ feelings of inadequacy and romantic jealousy.

I thought the book was absolutely terrible. But the trailer looks, at least, interesting. I’ll probably give it a chance.

That’s not true, tho.

Considering the general critical consensus seems to be somewhat mixed, that selection of tweets is a little... curious.
