This book started off as a tough sell by using my biggest trigger warning as a plot device/subplot. Add in interstitials that did nothing and a really jarring campiness on top of Super Trauma subplot? I dunno. I think this book is both Not For Me and also Doing Too Much.

Updating this review about a month after DNFing to say it's now the second book I've read recently with an editorial-style content warning. I love content warnings, but beware - if you are telling readers you hope x trigger won't bother them and that the tone of the book will be y . . . this is now the second book where I've not agreed with your own assessment of the book's tone. I hope this trend doesn't continue because I'm not a fan of authors intruding on that subjectivity that is readers layering their own perceptions and experiences into the text. Once the book is out there you really shouldn't be telling readers how to interpret your work.
