Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The first story was absolutely shocking, disgusting, disturbing, and kinda hilarious. Perverted and extreme and made me nauseous. But “guts” was the only story I even remotely enjoyed in here. I think it sets an incredibly misleading tone for the rest of the book since it’s the first story.
The second story keeps traction and is entertaining. But after that I’m absolutely snoring.
The use of nicknames also really threw me off and made it harder to remember characteristics for some reason. Especially with such a large cast of characters.
Just no. I get what it wanted to do. But the stories were a snooze and I skimmed most of the main plot because I did not care.
How you can make something so dramatic and so boring at the same time takes skill.
The stories were supposed to get more intense and they increasingly made me want to dnf lol. I only finished this because I went to visit family and needed an escape.
