DNF..
Started out ok, then there was a lot of reference to a boy who obviously has Down syndrome, even though there was no mention, he was called the R word & was used multiple times when there was no need, he was supposed to be the main 4 guys friend.
Later there was use of racial slurs and more use of the R word. This was really jarring and made me upset.
This book dragged on, was repetitive and definitely could have ended way earlier.
