Jessica's Reviews > Razorblade Tears

My sole February DNF. I'm well aware that I'm in the minority here, but this book was unbearable for me. The writing was atrocious and the violence was overly gratuitous. I have issues about how Ike and Buddy Lee couldn't accept their gay sons while they were alive, but suddenly realized they loved and accepted their sons once they were murdered. Show me that character development, because I find it hard to believe and didn't see it at all. It also leaves a bad taste in my mouth that most of the victims on the end of Ike's and Buddy Lee's violence were queer people. It seems intentional.

Also... I'm not a prude by any means, but some of the writing was so over sexualized that it honestly was laughable. It feels like a horny 14 year-old boy wrote it.
