DID NOT FINISH

It’s clear early on this is meant to be an allegory for “toxic masculinity”, I’m so not like that sort of narrative. Also the protagonist is insufferable and I have to like my protagonist to enjoy a story. Also way too much profanity. It’s clear which side of the aisle the author lies when the protagonist looks through a child’s book of fairy tales and calls it racist. Over it. DNF.

The story was fun but I found Jess to be too annoying to thoroughly enjoy it

I don’t know if maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this or if it was something else, but I just didn’t like this writing style. Something about it irked me and I found it almost frustrating to read. I think I’d try pick this up again someday, just to see.
