I appreciated the LGBTQ+ and Asian representation in this book, but outside of that there wasn’t much I liked.
The writing style of this book was just not for me. It felt very disjointed. The character’s thoughts and feelings were all over the place and we jumped from P.O.V to P.O.V every few paragraphs. This made things very difficult to follow and understand.
I am just not the right reader for this book.
But I really want a donut right now.
