this book's only saving grace is its prose lmao. it's just. so problematic i don't even know where to begin??

i appreciate that this is supposed to be a love story. but we also get rampant racism, p*dophilia (and incest???) and just overall horrible pacing. the last like 10% went by quickly, but literally everywhere else, it was such a drag to read.

would not recommend lmfao i regret spending so much time on this.
