Initial thoughts: I liked this book a lot. It was dark and violent, but it had depth; it was more than just 320 pages of pew pew. I don’t think that existing lgbtq+ ally’s are the target audience. I think people who are new to allyship are. For that reason it wasn’t a perfect book for me. There were also a loooot of similes, some of which were poorly written, which did take me out of the story a bit. I’m also not a huge fan of the pew pew scenes. A good book, I’m just not the ideal audience.

This should be a movie. It's written like it should be a movie. Feels kinda like John Wick or some other ridiculous action movie. Check all the trigger warnings.

The violence and language were a bit much for my taste. The story is well structured continually adding more information.
