This book wasn’t it for me and I love Mindy’s books. It wasn’t just that it’s a retelling “yawn” but that it was directionless. It felt so meandering. We got no answers, a strange animal POV and where at other times she featured gritty topics for a purpose this time she featured them as exploitive.
There was unquestioned crappy treatment of a biracial character, love streaming of a nude under aged boy too drunk to consent to anything and hazed in dangerous and horrific ways by peers, and rampant drug and alcohol use. It was-a miss!
