Man. Fuck this book. And you know what, I kinda liked the beginning!! Like it had flaws but I assumed they’d be resolved or vilified as it went on (it didn’t). But then we got hit with the twists and reveals and they STINK!!! BOO!! 🍅🍅🍅 

What the fuck was UP with

• The immediate disregard of neighbor lady’s racism
• The Lawn Boy thing. Why is she calling that man that?? Racism.
• ANTI METOO MOVEMENT?????
• The weird book about teaching children their bodies but it covers anal sex and cunnilingus???
• The religious shit
• oh of course they’re forcing a child to be transgender. of course
• PRO JK ROWLING?? twice in one book after 2018? Actually, yeah that fucking tracks for this book

This book really is some right wing propaganda. Like it was not slick with it at all.

3.0

This book move quickly and had an interesting premise. But our main character was downright silly! Her willingness to share that she was seeing ghost with her employer and anyone else who would listen made her seem crazy. I didn’t think that any of her decisions were based on logic and she acted like someone who had been Sober for a few days instead of almost 2 years. I wish that she had been given a single primary struggle instead of a struggle in every aspect of her life. Including mental health issues, and the mental health issues are never properly acknowledged

Weird and entertaining but also a bit contrived. Did not appreciate the way they took advantage of the general social acceptance of LGBTQ+ people to spin this story.
