bailedWell, I previously mentioned I was struggling with the author's overblown language, which was a distraction from the genuinely interesting stories, and I thought I'd look at reviews to see what others had made of the book to see if it's worth me continuing. The reviews for *this* book are ok, but I saw reviews for another commenting on the author's transphobic, terfy views, and that was the clincher for me to bail.

Bookwomble My main reason for bailing is stylistic, a matter of literary taste, and others may find Blackie hitting a right note for them, and I must emphasise that (up to page 92) she has not promoted transphobic views in this book, so it's probably 'safe' to read in that regard, but personally, and with some disappointment, I'm out. 11h
Cuilin Ugh!! So disappointing!! I read a book by her that I really enjoyed. I guess no further reads by her for me. 8h
Bookwomble @Cuilin Yeah, disappointment was my main feeling , too 🫤 The reviews for the other terfy book mainly said how much they were enjoying it, then unexpectedly a chapter of transphobic ranting, with a lot of consequent DNFing. 8h
