3.0
This book is being marketed in confusing and deceiving ways. Initially described as a gay ‘Get Out’ it is most certainly not that and in fact has a clear agenda perpetrated by the author that comes out in the later half of the book.
The first half of the book were compelling and hard to read. It flails in the second half where the protagonist is reckoning with trauma and how to deal with it. The end was disappointing for sure given the promise of the front half.
