2.5/50 stars

Changed from 5.0/5.0 stars initially after reading through other people's reviews.

I initially rated this as 5 stars because I read it in half a day. I loved the mixed media in the book and thought it had a cool enough mystery to keep me flipping through the pages. As far as a thriller goes, I thought this was a 5 star book! I did not care that the characters made silly decisions or that things got a little cheesy at times. I was in it for the intrigue.

However, after reading through some of the comments I realized that there were a lot of things I glossed over because I either have them ingrained inside of me or I did not realize they were there. I do not know if this makes me a lazy reader or innately indoctrinated with biases, but I want to be better. I did pick up on the trans commentary but did not realize how harmful it was, and I actually glossed over the fat shaming. I am going to try to be more conscious of this in the future.
