Wow. This book was horrific, disturbing, derogatory, evil but I think it did exactly what it was trying to do. It’s incredibly explicit; not for the faint hearted although I enjoyed reading this, I definitely felt so uncomfortable from page one right through to the end. Check the trigger warnings on this for sure!! Lots of homophobic and ableist slurs throughout.
