This book was gifted to me by my friend Stephen, who passed away before I could give it a read. This one’s for him.
Stephen, please tell me you have better taste in books than this. If you were alive I would have some great recommendations for you. This was bad.
The dialogue was worse than Riverdale, the racism was only there to make the evil baddie even more eviller, and this book was like an edgelord’s wet dream. The ending of the book is a total let down as well. Interesting premise, terrible execution.
