There are aspects of this I really love but overall I feel like it tries to do too much- worth a read if you love NYC, though. Loses some points from me for sound effects and music in the audiobook- but if you’re in to that I suppose it’s well done.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Cursing, Hate crime, Homophobia, Misogyny, Racism, Violence, Xenophobia, and Racial slurs
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Colonisation, Ableism, Addiction, Antisemitism, Cultural appropriation, Genocide, and Grief
This is essentially a study of all the different cultures that make up NYC- for better or worse- and it doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts.
