This is the worst book I've ever read, everything about it was bad.
There was : sexism, homophobia, racism, slutshaming
The amount of "fuck" "fucking" and "shit", I could barely read a whole page without any of these words and it is so annoying and tiring.
The characters don't make any sense and aren't realistic, they all behave exactly the same, it feels like the author can't write character who have depth.
The sexualization of women is over the top it's sickening.
I could say bonu point for the lesbians but I feel like it was put in the book as a huge fetish instead of genuine want for diversity.
Reading it felt like a chore. The writting was honeslty angering me and I really didn't care about the story anymore.
The plot twist did not touch me neither did the end.
It was a huge loss of time for me.
I've never been so happy to finish a book.
It's really reductive toward women.
