I only have to say 2 words about this book to everyone

READ IT!

Seriously, you will not be disappointed and it will probably be the most unique story you've ever read.

I literally only pushed through and finished this because I needed a Z book for my alphabet reading challenge.

The writing style just did not work for me at all. There was possibly a beautiful story in there somewhere but it was lost beneath the bad slang and comic book POW’s and BAM’s and excess ellipses and whambamthankyouma’am’s and other words runningwithnospaces and random CAPITALISED words in the MIDDLE of sentences.

(There was literally a SH-BOOGIE-BLAMMO in there and I’ve still not quite got over it)

The idea of the book and some of its execution is great, but I just couldn’t get past the writing style. It like it was trying way too hard to be edgy and different and some things/words/phrases are repeated too many times. Idk, I don’t think this was my book!

Content Warnings

queerharrington's review

3.0

i feel like this book should come with a whole lot of trigger warnings & content warnings, such as:

conversion therapy, homophobia, internalised homophobia, racism, homophobic slurs, racist slurs, attempted sexual assault of a minor, violence, bullying

this list might be incomplete, so please proceed with caution if you want to read this book.
