This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Struggling how though?

If they were struggling with the vocabulary, then that might be roastable.

But if they meant, e.g., struggling with the themes, that might be understandable. YA books sometimes tackle difficult subjects or are subtle, layered, etc.

Why roast someone trying to improve? We haven't all had the same opportunities in life.

Why don't you ask @Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com, who I was responding to?

It was the general reading/vocabulary.

I don't think it matters in this context. Person is trying to get into reading, nothing roastable about that.
