This is sincerely the worst book I have ever read. The fact that there was only one interesting story in the entire novel is sad. The main character is unlikable and dry. I had to force myself to get through this book that was basically a slur buzz word wet dream that a 15 year old with no understanding of organization wrote. I wanted it to get better and the story had such potential, but the writing style is hard to follow and I found a majority of the characters lacked serious depth I was aching for. Not worth the time.
Graphic: Racial slurs
Moderate: Homophobia, Mental illness, Sexual assault, and Xenophobia
