Victim by Andrew Boryga

4.0

What a great debut novel. The book was funny, satirical, and poignant, speaking about our society's love with trauma porn, tokenism, and the plight of the "underserved, poor" communities without doing anything to actually help them. I loved how Javi's story was truly that of a villain MMC. He is a proverbial Icarus, flying too close to the sun. He is not someone you want to root for, consistently making poor choices for the sake of notoriety, yet you want to find out how he fell from grace. That itself made the story compelling. It poses the question of who, truly, sees themselves as victims.
