The language is just too much 'in the vernacular' and it's not my vernacular. I can deal with this kind of sloppy, slangy language coming from characters, but not from the narrator, the author. But it's not just the younger-than-millennial writing style, it's the frequent use of vulgarities. In movies they give an R rating and say there is adult language. I wouldn't label it that way, but rather immature, or thoughtless/mindless. After a few pages, it was just too annoying so I abandoned the book.
