A review by grayjay
Borderline by Mishell Baker

1.0

The beginning irked me because I found it condescending. Like many an urban fantasy before it, an uninitiated protagonist was used to teach the reader all the rules about how magic and fairies would work in this universe, and although I admit it's a convention of the genre, I was annoyed. By the end of the book I was happy because it was a good mystery and I like fairies. Not having BPD, I don't know how accurate the portrayal of the protagonist was, but I have some personal experience with mental health and it did resonate with me, and I felt it added necessary character interest. I'll probably read the next installment eventually.
