This is the worst book I’ve ever read. I do not understand why it has so many 5 star ratings.
It is fast-paced and a page-turner, so at times I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know what would happen. That’s the only “positive” thing I can say here. Characters are one dimensional and awful. The book is explicit, predatory, racist and homophobic at times. I understand that these were specific qualities in specific characters, but it was done in a very cringey way.
