It was okay nothing spectacular. But all I want to read these days are romance books.
Tw: transphobia
I decided to pick up more books in French and even more from Québec and I'm blown away by this one.
Even though it's based on a transphobic murder in the USA of a teenage girl, Boulerice makes it seems like it could very well be something happening in Quebec with our way of talking.
Which makes it like it's something that could happen anywhere in the world.
It really made me emotional.

Je viens de terminer le livre audio de Royal lu par son auteur et wow.
Le personnage principal est prêt à tout pour être le meilleur rien n'est trop bas pour être au sommet et le culte de la performance qui nous est inculqué souvent depuis un jeune âge est critiqué. Le fait que l'auteur en fasse la lecture rend la lecture encore plus percutante.
Et que dire de la fin ça m'as surpris! Vraiment une belle critique du culte de la performance tout en étant abrasif et qui fait vraiment réfléchir.
Comme on dit en bon québécois ça a fessé en tabarouette!

As my first read of 2021, it was so great. The story was so interesting and the magic system was very creative. The whole story kept me on my toes wanting to read more of it.
Really excited to read the second volume soon.

Dnf for me at 20 ish % percent. While I liked the overall message of self-acceptance and that diet like Atkins and weight watchers and diet culture in general is there to make you feel bad about yourself and profit off of those insecurities is great.
The major problem I had with the book is, that if you're overweight (like myself) and you would like to change your relationship with food and body image but also lose some weight to be healthier not at all skinnier or a certain goal weight ,the author basically tells you that you should eat whatever and whenever you feel like it. Which might be dangerous for some people, myself included, that you might not make the right choices of food.
I feel like the overall message was good but the execution not so much.

Dnf. I was so excited to read this book since it's a paranormal romance (and gosh I like those books). Sadly I dnf it at the 20% mark since I was not interested in the story nor I felt like I would love it.
