I have complicated feelings! On the one hand, Victim is a humorous condemnation of performative allyship, of well-meaning (sometimes) white people and their consumption of trauma porn. On the other hand, I think a right-winger would take this book and use it as an example of why DEI should all go away -- which is not a reason to dislike the book, just makes me anxious.
The narration was excellent, I will definitely be looking out for Anthony Rey Perez in the future. 
All in all an interesting and fun read! I wish I was in a book club so I could discuss.
