celery's review against another edition

None of the characters are likable. I couldn't understand how there was any chemistry between the two main characters and the protagonist was someone I couldn't root for.

Even though I liked it, I have a couple criticisms. One being the demonization of schizophrenia and the other being sl*t shaming.

the main character’s mother has schizophrenia and this is demonstrated by the mother being extremely violent and not mentally sound. It is hinted that in the past she injured her child in such a way that the child can no longer walk. The main character cannot reason with her mother. Much later in the story, the main character has to wear a revealing dress in order to get into the enemy lair. She refers to the outfit as sl*tty and judges the other women there who are wearing similar outfits in order to get the good graces of the enemy. It also is very anti-s*x work in that scene.<\spoiler> despite all this, i still liked the book and im excited to read the second one.
