be warned of the weird sex scene where they basically have an orgy when they are kids. it's weird and can totally be skipped or skimmed over

2.0

So many thoughts and so little space to write them. The book was well written and the plot was interesting enough that I spent 45 hours of my life listening to the audiobook. I could have done without the slurs every other page, descriptions of a child’s nipples, and other completely unnecessary information. Without all of these things I would give it a solid 5 but it just made me so uncomfortable to read (and not in the way I think he meant it to). I’m basically going to have to select every trigger warning on the list for this review
