A review by majaisabella
We Could Be Heroes by PJ Ellis

Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.

This book was abjectly terrible. Aside from having a complete lack of plot, the most boring characters I’ve read in months, and bizarre writing and stylistic choices, it was dull beyond words. I also did not vibe with the casual drug use, horrible, bitchy and uninteresting side characters, and complete lack of atmospheric grounding. SUPPOSEDLY this is set in Birmingham, but all the author does is tell you a street name and occasionally say Brum. As another reviewer said, this book is all tell, no show. It’s only redeeming feature is the queer joy and representation, which was not enough to keep me interested
