I enjoyed the story, but there were many offensive and completely unnecessary bits that really knocked it down for me. Despite all that, I was drawn to Ben’s character much more than Rafe’s and am planning on reading Honestly Ben next.
Some of the offensive things I remember: using the words “retarded” and “transgendered”, fatphobia, saying someone with close set eyes potentially looked like someone with a mental disability, a white kid using a bad “Chinese” accent.
