I’m trying to find a constructive way to put into place my feelings of this book but I just can’t. The characters are so insufferable and blatantly narcissistic. There are just some perspectives that are not necessary and add noise to complicated modern issues. Having old aged white people of sufficient means looking into the political issues of 2020/2021 is not necessary (they are typically the voices that dominate conversations anyways). Especially when they blatantly sympathize with Nazis and romanticize cops (and cop violence). The characters are toxic, their relationships are toxic and this story doesn’t make me “see the other side” as much as it makes me see that ignorance is the biggest danger to our political landscape. she writes a novel romanticizing a Trump-supporting cop who murders someone and gets away with it then states how she loves the cop she wrote… like it’s very upsetting to read.
