Just finished reading it and loved it, was much funnier than I expected it to be and I really sympathised with the Holden character, again not what I expected with how people had spoke about the book and about him being a massive moaner. Felt genuinely gutted when I'd finished it. Also echo OP's sentiments about Phoebe, such a great character.

Oh it’s a hoot. Once you accept that Holden is a grump and you don’t have to be on his side, he’s very funny, and some of the things he’s grumpy about are true enough to be like, yeah man, I get it.

And the one with Professor Thurber, and all the scenes with Stradlater and Sally…
