khakipantsofsex's review

My first DNF of 2024, and one that I’ve not heard anyone say anything bad about. I simply cannot stand the MC. He’s such a white mean gay stereotype and all his comments about people’s looks and weight and his nephew’s lisp are unbearable. Also two causally racist lines in 50 pages? Nah. Not doing it. I tried the audiobook but couldn’t stand the narrator, particularly for the kids’ lines. Lord.
