i almost couldn’t finish this book because of how much i despised the protagonist, but i appreciate that the author forces a white reader to have to feel and confront the discomfort that this misogynistic, racist, Islamophobic white man creates. overall the book raises important questions and grapples with extremely relevant socio-political issues our society is dealing with. it’s certainly an interesting read but just didn’t move me emotionally
