Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Although there are some strange ways of writing 'yeah' in dialogue

Reading this book was a ride. I've seen the movie, so I know what happens, but I was still on the edge of my seat. There are a lot of issues in this book including sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. I didn't enjoy that part of the book. But the rest of it was good. It's honestly quite a brilliant story.
