This was a interesting read. I loved the topic and discussions about sexuality, race and racism and homophobia and seeing characters growth. I just didn’t love how this was like an action thriller. Like I didn’t really care about the fathers getting revenge and it was just to action movie for me. The mystery was good, but wasn’t shocking to me. I also didn’t really feel much emotion because I feel like we didn’t get to know the characters. It also took me way too long to remember who was who. This was also really funny at times especially Bobby Lee.

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.
