@the_wanlorn i loathed the book so so much when i got to the end of it.

i had avoided her because i thought i would be amongst the haters, but some of my friends adored some of her stuff and i figured i should give it a chance.

alas, my first instinct was right.

@the_wanlorn oooh, do tell. i definitely avoided that one because (a) full novel and (b) lots of people who dislike her writing disliked that one specifically.

i was wondering if her later ones had gotten better and it was just a fluke, but now i want to know if your dislike of it lines up with my dislike of this one and it's just that it's a thread through all of her writing.

@thedeadparrot So I don't like seek out reivews or anything so I don't know if this is something other people have talked about, but the thing that bothered me the most is there is Racist Guy in the main cast. And at the end of the book Racist Guy Gets What's Coming To Him. And like. I feel like it was supposed to be cathartic or whatever, but it just made me go oh this tells me all I need to know about your politics and no thank you.

Also it was very... idk tumblr utopia everyone in the main cast is queer and gets along nothing truly bad every happens etc? Which, tbh, I love when the cast can carry it, but uh. lmao.
