wtf did I just read? This is reason 2578855 why I am no longer listening to Booktok or booksta recs. 

- the language was so cringe in this entire book, the amount of slang, brain rot terms, and TT terms were insane. 
- when you say everybody is bisexual in a book, that is NOT inclusive, that is just fetishizing a group so you can act like you are inclusive to sell more copies to that group. Stop doing this. It was a major ick. 🤮
- everybody was “slutty”, so slut shaming as well, I wasn’t even surprised at this point already and we were only 15% of the way in. 
- somebody else mentioned this one, so I’m not gonna go in to detail. But trying to use more “exotic” words to describe white men, while just using “black” or “dark” skin is super icky. 

Miss me with this one. Moving forward if I see a big creator hyping up a book, I’m adding it to my never read list. And I read this AFTER getting out of a month long reading slump after 11 DNFs of overhyped books in November. I’m tired man. 😅
