This book feels very 2006. There are multiple moments where kids are referred to as r******, also the black male character is named Felon? They make a whole thing of it, but a lot of the racial representation feels quite dated and offensive. Also, one character (who doesn’t speak) is an abused sex worker and other sex workers are abused as well.
