There was a lot to dislike about this book (most notably the poor editing, especially for repetition), but I didn’t initially feel the need to review it. I mean, why yuck someone’s yum? Who cares. I don’t even care that I guessed the main twist within the first few chapters. Plus, it was engaging enough that I read the whole thing within a few days, and I have no qualms with DNF-ing books.
But then I got to Chapter 38, and wow, big yikes. The fact that I haven’t seen this issue mentioned in any other reviews is absolutely *wild.* Like, y’all. It’s concerning.
