Not gonna lie, this books writing reminded me of fanfics… that said it was easy to read in that way. However this book is in every way possible disgusting and the plot kind of gives away the ending.

If Marcos has a million haters, then I am one of them. If Marcos has ten haters, then I am one of them. If Marcos has only one hater then that is me. If Marcos has no haters, then that means I am dead.

Blech. This book is not for me. It’s well written and the story is interesting but it’s just too vile for me. I’m not sure I can think of a content watching this book shouldn’t have.
