It has some racist tones as expected since the book was originally published in the 1950s. Overall, it wasn't that bad, and I'm glad it had the Pevensies in the book during their reign.
DNF but might go back to read it again. The writing style wasn't for me

Just wow....wow. This book is a very bold and blunt read. It's not a conservative book but a chaotic one. If I consider the book Bunny as Chaotic neutral, this book would be Chaotic Evil.

This book is not for the faint-hearted or innocent readers.
Trigger warnings: Drugs, psychotic, mental health, depression, Mental Health drugs 3-day blackouts, addiction, severe insomnia, parents dying, death, mention of 9/11, and eating disorder.
Reva has such a Cancer Zodiac energy. She was caring and loved the narrator. Also, the narrator does not have a name. At the same time, Reva had issues with body image and death in the family. Trevor sucks by the way.
This was a quick and easy read. Took me about 3 hours to finish it since it was a page-turner. If you want/need a book to feel something, this book is for you.
