The first bad book this year. I knew my luck was running out (reading so many lovely books in a row) but I didn’t expect it to happen this fast or be this bad. I wish I could get a refund for the time spent reading this.

There’s not one good thing I can say about this book: the plot is hackneyed, the writing is uninspired, the so-called twist was underwhelming, and characters are one dimensional and unlikeable to boot. And I’ve not even gotten to the racism, transphobia and fatphobia: a disgusting trifecta.

I rarely give books a single star. Since I started actively using Goodreads in 2019, I’ve only done this with 3 books. I reserve this for books that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, whether well written or not. This book has the dubious honour of joining their ranks as Number 4🏆

Congratulations, I guess.
