And They Lived... by Steven Salvatore
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
Thank you Bloomsbury for this arc
I dnfed around page 80. I was cringing every few sentences in this book from the fat-phobia,homophobia, and body dysmorphia. As a queer, Jewish person I wasn’t a fan of the way one of the Jewish characters was represented in this book either.
This book was said to be for ages 14+ but was written more like a nostalgic 30 reliving their college years. College and young adults may have changed since I have been in school but everything about this books seemed very unrealistic.
