The Best Bad Things by Katrina Carrasco

3.0

this had a really slow start for me—not because the action is slow, but because the style is VERY pronounced and it took me a while to acclimatize. i’ve never especially enjoyed this style of hard-boiled dramatic writing. the style is one of the key aspects that’d draw a reader to this book, but for me it was something to tolerate til it felt invisible. i’ve also never especially enjoyed this genre of story, another aspect that’d draw readers. i kept reading out of inertia and because this book rapidly became one of the more bisexual things i’ve ever read. it was a good read, ultimately! the end was brutal and perfect. i just know more than 80% of what this book did well was lost on me as i’m not really its reader.
