before i start with everything that was awful about the book i have to say the story was okay, especially the second half of the book was interesting.
the book is homophobic, racist, transphobic and overly sexist. reading what thoughts the men had about the women in this book and how they treated them made me very uncomfortable and angry.
the story also had way too many characters. i‘m not sure how anyone is supposed to keep up with them. 
not a great read, could have been something amazing but it‘s just not.
