amaia92's review against another edition

I didn’t know it would contain pedophilia/child abuse and I couldn’t continue due to that.
I thought it was a good book and very well written until that episode

beautifully written but absolutely horrifying. also, i don't know that it qualifies as an lgbtq+ book just for having one lgbtq+ side character
