Nah but for real, this was a great read and helped get me out of my reading slump. The commentary on the publishing industry and 'cancel culture' and cultur l appropriation was super interesting. My only issue was that the ending felt a bit rushed/cliche. I also found that pretty much every character was unlikable in some way, I'm sure this was to add nuance and show that there's 'bad people on both sides' but it just frustrated me.
