I got an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. 

I had to DNF (which I’ve never done before with a book) due to how offensive and insensitive it was. 

The writing was very...odd, almost cringe, especially in context with what the book surrounds. The portrayal of the main character did not sit right with me at all and I think a lot of readers could easily be offended while reading. 

There’s rape jokes and slut shaming from the main character, who was portrayed very poorly. The MC was also very unlikable (which is stated at the start of the book but I didn’t actually think I’d dislike her.) 

I always try to give a book a chance, and when seeing that the author was a white, cis man, I was hesitant on reading a book where it’s from the POV of a mixed race, trans girl....and I was right. 

If I could rate this with no stars, I would. Please don’t waste your money on buying this and go and support books that have good and respectful representation.
