This had a strong premise, but fell flat to me. The ending was even drearier than the rest of the novel. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters and the storyline with frieda and Darwin felt very rushed. The queer subplot seemed edged in for no reason, and it made zero sense.
Graphic: Body shaming, Bullying, Eating disorder, and Sexism
Moderate: Drug abuse and Homophobia
