Trust Exercise by Susan Choi

1.0

This is the first book in years that I have not finished, and this is also my first negative written review. I got twenty pages in and there are already racialized, lazy attempts of character descriptions: "lips like a simian", "clownfro", "token Hispanic with no discernible talent". There are also intensely cringeworthy, gratuitous descriptions of these unbelievable shallow underage characters having sex. I just finished A Little Life, so I'm not shy about intense work—but I could not justify spending any more time on Trust Exercise.
