Get It Right by Skye Kilaen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
I would have loved to have finished this since it’s sapphic and has a pansexual character but the minute I saw that Krav Maga was mentioned, an “Israeli” martial art that was developed for the IDF I knew I had to put the book down. I won’t support any type of work that mentions or paints something from an apartheid state in a positive light.
