i acc really liked this book, the scenes with the whores especially bc i was mostly interested in them. kenji is a bit dumb as fuck n then frank... whatever. also the ending was undeniably underwhelming. the writing is dope tho! n i'll definitely read more of his books (piercing next)

i remember this book being life-changing, unique to anything i've read before but also unique by itself. i felt seen n understood, but also so secure that i didn't care if i were to b misunderstood. i can't wait to reread <3
