1.5

started off strong, but lost all of it in the last third of the story. a lot of current issues buzzwords just tossed in with very little actual care taken on any of the topics, but mostly they just felt crammed in with very little reason or impact. is it demonizing science believers? demonizing spiritual/religious people? definitely constant fatphobic/body shaming sprinkled throughout.

it feels like the most care was taken in regards to drug use/addiction, but it still all felt off, somehow. the ending also feels very.....weird. you ever hear conspiracies that people are forcing children to think they're trans even though it's not true? well, if you actually agree with those conspiracies, then this book is for you! and also you're a horrible person, maybe get off the internet a bit & stop that.

yea, no. not a fan & I will not be reading from the author in the future. thank you.

Author doesn’t attempt to hide his vile politics and the writing is not on the level of an adult novel. Also, for a book that’s marketed as horror, it’s not scary.
