1.0

Between a lackluster ending, horrible characters, and extremely unnecessary microaggressions, Big Swiss felt like a train wreck. I don’t understand how this one has such glowing reviews, especially with the casual racism sprinkled throughout it. And yes, yes, I know that Greta is supposed to be unlikable, but again, the microaggressions in this book were entirely there for shock value. If you ask me, this is an easy skip.
