How Lucky by Will Leitch

mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

The plot of this book is pretty good, and the end of this book was very fast pace and engaging. I take issue with the tone of this book though. This whole book feels very performative. The main character will say things about homophobia or racism and how bad they are but then later play into some homophobic and racist stereotypes. There is a part in which the main characters likes that he lives next to a lot of Asian people because Asian people are better than white people and it felt very much like he was tokenizing all of these people.
