dark

I have never been so  vividly uncomfortable till now. Main character is racist, homophobic, misogynistic the list  goes on. So many CW. So many slurs I lost count past 8. The only reason I even bothered finishing this book is because I was hoping he would get murdered

he didn’t 😡

talislibrary's review

Despite being correct to its time period, I hated the over use of slurs, sexism and racism.
