Tradition by Brendan Kiely

3.0

Oof, this is a heavy read. Kiely tackles sexism, classism, & the importance of creating a culture of consent. He doesn’t shy away from confronting the “norms” that create a harmful environment for marginalized people & especially women. The characters were engaging, especially Bax, a teddy bear you just want to hug. Jules’s struggles were described believably, without over-emphasis or romanticization. A strong rendering of an important issue. ★★★½.
