Razorblade Tears was perfect in every way. Tons of very heavy content and gore, but so beautifully written it was like watching a movie. I'll be thinking of this story for years to come.

Razorblade Tears reads like a fast-paced action movie while simultaneously dealing with the serious issues of racism, homophobia, and the ways families often fail their queer children. The mix of action and social commentary didn’t always work for me and felt forced at times. That being said, I still think this was a creative premise for a novel and worth the read.
