This will leave you saying what the f***. I wasn’t really sure where it was heading throughout the book but I definitely wasn’t expecting exactly what we got. The climax is about 100 pages long which sounds crazy but it was pretty epic and still felt fast paced, I couldn’t put it down once that scene started.
What I liked: multiple POVs, short chapters, the problems it discussed (homophobia, racism)
What I didn’t like: the writing felt mediocre to me and a few lines made me cringe
Graphic: Gun violence, Homophobia, Violence
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Drug use, Racism, Sexual assault
