"Apologies don't mean a thing, if you don't ever fix it." - NF All of this "bench near the beach at midnight, sharing feelings, and kissing" is just his wistful thinking.ĮDIT: I think that part of what triggered me so much about this book, is that it also has this underlying theme: "If you're famous, it's ok to be a total douche to your friends, and then apologize and expect your fame and the benefits that come with it to fix everything." Honestly, people going to each other's houses, and sending flirty back-and-forth DM's on Instagram is about as romantic as you get in middle school. Don't even get me started on this bullcrap. no, no, no.ģrd: Middle school romance? Please. Maybe it was like this 20-30 years ago, but nowadays. The whole wedgie/swirly thing is so damn stereotypical middle-school bullying, but as a middle schooler, I have never seen/experienced anything like Patterson describes. It got pretty pathetic after a while.Ģnd: I'm not sure if James Patterson has any idea what modern-day bullying looks like. I found some of the first-graders recycled dad jokes to be more funny than anything Jamie had. I am still amazed at how many 5-star reviews this book has.ġst of all: Nothing about Jamie is funny in the least.
