I cannot even begin to describe how annoyed this book make me. Main character is so unlikable. I was originally drawn to the book because I’ve been trying to read more fiction with LGBTQ+ protagonists, but this felt like the author was trying to project all their negative feelings on the LGBTQ+ community into text. Multiple slurs used throughout the book, including the N word, and the author is white. Aside from the offensive text, the plot and character development was not for me.
