So many thoughts and so little space to write them. The book was well written and the plot was interesting enough that I spent 45 hours of my life listening to the audiobook. I could have done without the slurs every other page, descriptions of a child’s nipples, and other completely unnecessary information. Without all of these things I would give it a solid 5 but it just made me so uncomfortable to read (and not in the way I think he meant it to). I’m basically going to have to select every trigger warning on the list for this review
