yeah, absolutely. she doesn't feel like a character - granted, I haven't read the novel as a novel, just snippets here and there - she feels like a standin to get as many dusgusting and/or unhygienic things as possibly out there. I'm not interested in her as a character, because it doesn't feel as if there will be a reason why she does all the shit she does (apart from her parents divorcing. please.) It just makes no sense, there's no real plot or anything to tie all the weirdness together. And yeah, booger eating is pretty common, but most of the stuff she does isn't. to go by the pages I read yesterday, who always and on reasons of getting one over the tampon industry always stuffs themselves with toilet paper roll things? eats their schorf and eiter and just, ugh. there is just no reason for all her madness.
it really doen't feel like a novel, and that's what makes me stop reading, and not wanting to read it in order. if it did, I might even get through all the disgusting stuff. but there's just nothing beyond that.
