(Anonymous) 2021-04-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)As an 18 year old, I hated Holden. I thought that his brother had died over a year before and he should totally be over it by then because it's been so long. But as an adult, I had so much empathy.
Holden is a shit. But he's also so, so, so very sad. He also knows that a dear friend of his is probably going to get date raped that night even though there are no words back then for what it was and most people didn't have a problem with it (besides the young women enduring it).
He's dealing with hormones and growing up and people thinking he's more adult than he his, which he takes advantage of, but I think he just wants someone to tell him he doesn't have to be an adult yet.
Every adult he tries to go to disappoints him and the only person he had to lean on was his ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGED SISTER.
It's the story of a boy who is a bit of a shit whose life is still falling apart with grief and trauma that no one can see because he looks adult enough and fine enough that no one cares to see he's not okay and has no idea how to be okay except to bullshit his way through life.
I spent the whole time reading the book in my late thirties yelling "Where is his MOTHER?" He needed an adult on his side.
