medium-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Do not read this if you are disabled!!! I felt so terrible reading this that I had to stop half way. This is one of my only DNF books

bdunks's review

This books contains casual use of the r word. The character states that they dislike being referred to with the word, but it is treated casually and without any strong condemnation. I found the blasé dismissal upsetting.
