Victim by Andrew Boryga
4.0
When trauma strikes and you have the chance to capitalize off of it, would you do it? Would you consider yourself a hustler or a victim- or can you be both?
Javier gets shown a world where his words and “personal experiences” can bring him praise and success, but only at the cost of selling out to stand out. Super entertaining read and a nudge of critique on self-reflection and performative activism. Another takeaway I thoroughly enjoyed was the topic of street smart vs book smart when forming an identity. At the end of this, I’d hoped that there would be some grand lesson learned, but it’s kind of hard to see over how much of a huge asshole Javier is. Still an easy and fun read.
