I read #junkie last May we got along fine. I don't know what changed since then, my reading taste, the general scope of things I pay attention when reading or just my mood, but #Rev ground on my gears so much. It felt forced in so many places, also necessarily cruel, I guess in attempt to appear realistic and emphasize the "found family" aspect. I also found it to be repetitive. And honestly a lot of what main characters did to resolve the main conflict felt... petty too me. I do agree that they needed to retaliate but just wasn't vibing with how they chose to do it. So maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this book.
Graphic: Homophobia and Alcohol
