PEOPLE SAW ME READING IT ON THE BUS AND I HAD TO TELL THEM THAT NO, NO, THEY DON'T WANT TO READ THIS BOOK. NO MATTER HOW PRETTY THAT COVER ART IS ITS A LIE DON'T DO IT.
This has been very ranty and badly written but it's just actually so bad.
I think there were important things to be found within its pages but for all the badness of the rest of it I just actually would rather burn it.
I literally never hate books this much this just annoyed to no end.
Spare yourself a bad book.
There are literally so many better books.
do what you will ig
Graphic: Child abuse, Homophobia, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Violence, and Kidnapping
Moderate: Fatphobia
in terms of content warnings, there's a lot to look out for (I've blocked out this book in my head so I can't remember it all) while some of it is alluded to in other characters etc and it definitely depends on where you stand in terms of how comfortable you are reading it but literally just no. so bad. sorry to the author but am i? not really.dumplinghime's review against another edition
