I don't know what I was expecting. Not this. I started reading the book and the book just wouldn't let me understand its point. I hate books without points. I'm not sure I should review this, because I guess I just wasn't the right audience for that book - couldn't relate to the characters, couldn't relate to the story, would have preferred the thinking points as an academic book rather than a no-punctuation-allowed novel.

Content warnings for the book: explicit sex and sex-talk pretty much all the time, one very graphic rape attempt, death?, making fun of religion, one extremely sexist pimp character, most people are transphobic.
