The Spirit Bares Its Teeth
by Andrew Joseph White
dark
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
This was not the right book for me to read at this time. Sometimes the content warnings cannot list the bit that makes you break down.
Aside from that, I enjoyed the autistic and trans representation and the writing style that made this into a quick read even with low focus. However, even in better times this book would not quite be up my street, as very little light shines through its darkness, and I found certain character reactions difficult to believe.
