Paloma is a racist self absorbed alcoholic that hates everyone and can’t think a sentence without profanity or with depth.  I wanted to like this book because the premise was good, but the constant string of profanity, followed by “white chick/brown chick” was absurd.  The scene where she is asked where she is from in LA was hilarious.  Imbecile, it is a tourist trap, everyone gets asked that as a part of small talk.  It really was so rolled in woke the whole story sucked.  Not every white person thinks every brown person looks alike.
