A review by fabledeux
The Fetishists by A.S. Coomer

2.0

I would really like to give this book 2.5 stars but I don’t think it deserves 3 so we’ll keep it at 2. I read this book after seeing it recommended on TikTok. I really enjoyed how the first half of the book was written, where the plot kept going back and forth between the present and the past. It was really interesting and grabbed my attention very quickly. Once you realize what’s going on and Jefferson is on the boat, the book kind of lost me there. Jefferson is a very unlikable, gross, kind of a douche of a character so it was really hard for me to get invested into his story. As I read this book there were definitely moments that caught me off guard and gave me an “oh god” moment because of the shock factor, which I did like about this book. All in all this book was okay! It kind of reminds me of something I would have written in high school though. I did appreciate that it was very easy to read and understand and you knew exactly what was going on. Would I recommend this book? Probably not.
