  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

What the f*ck did I just read?
I’m not sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. Some of the descriptions were so graphic it made me feel sick - also has anyone checked on the author because is he okay? I just thought some of it was so gross and unnecessary, so any underlying messaging was drowned out. Giving it 3.5 stars because wow the author knows how to write a character to be fair.
