picked this book up randomly at the library after being intrigued by the description having no clue who wrote it and very quickly wished i just put it back on the shelf. i really wanted to try pushing through but dnf-ing on page 24. i don’t want to think about how the author will continue horribly racist stereotypes and the comment about a girl who “was probably molested at some point…”so i’m always in defense mode and attack others before they can attack me” was what finally had me close the book for good. it’s painful how hard this book is trying to be something it simply isn’t. the writing is severely lacking and hard to follow [and i say this as someone who loves unreliable/unconventional writing styles+voices] there’s far better storytellers who write unconventionally+delve into these topics and actually do it well.
