Kittentits by Holly Wilson
1.0
First off, many thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book as an audio ARC! I greatly appreciate it!
Look at that cover! Read that description! See Gillian Flynn vouching for this book! I had such high hopes for it!
Alas, they were dashed by the most obnoxious character voice I have ever come across in my life. And I've read a lot of books with teenage main characters, so I'm used to obnoxious main characters. The fact that this kid is ten makes it even worse. No ten year old talks like this, and if they do, they need some serious help. Even without the rampant, completely unnecessary r-slurs, the writing is just so, so bad.
The story itself had potential, and that makes it even worse, because what a waste!
One out of five stars for Kittentits. Biggest disappointment of the year so far.
