started and then immediately wasn’t in the mood for it, will pick it back up eventually <3
not in the mood for this right now :) will come back!!!
I just don't think I'm a horror/thriller/paranormal reader. this was okay but wasn't hooking me, and I've read similar stories before so just needed an extra pull that it didn't have. I also struggled with the writing style in general. not a bad book - I just have other things id rather read! :)
there wasn’t anything ‘wrong’ with this book in particular but i just didn’t enjoy reading it unfortunately :,)
not vibing with the writing style! it’s also not my preferred genre so i don’t think it would’ve been a fun time for me personally overall :)
i was going to try and finish this today but i am Bored. and feel entirely disconnected from all of the characters. AND i have so much else i’d rather be reading so dnf’ing for now <3
okay this is the second time in dnfing this BUT i STILL want to come back at some point - just not for right now :.)
if it’s the second time i’m dnfing the book. it’s probably not a me thing.
i couldn’t get passed the ridiculous use of slurs every page, and unnecessary deadnaming. there are ways to make the points you want to make without ostracising your transgender audience. it is painful and a gut punch everytime you see someone treated that way, especially a child. and especially when there are ways to do it that aren’t so graphic (it’s not the word i’m looking for but it’s the only one i’ve got)
this book tries to teach good lessons but i think the intentions were a lot more well done than the book itself. i don’t know what child id recommend this book to, why would anyone want their reading experience to be filled with abuse? especially young transgender kids. this book is definitely more for the cisgender community to take as a lesson i think.
i’m definitely in the minority on this opinion so idk keep your options open
