A review by hnelson510
Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

I couldn’t handle the barrage of sexist, homophobic, transphobic slurs and graphic descriptions of murder, rape and child abuse. I’m almost positive the author’s intent was to shine a light on these behaviors and why they’re awful, but there is nothing to hold on to on the journey through the book. I just didn’t want to read that horrible stuff anymore.
