A review by indiekay
Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
The characters are really annoying and I really didn't like one of the audio narrator's voices.
I was particularly annoyed by the one character saying she hates all cis men, because one guy friend just happened to be an asshole (even though she then says every other guy friend she ever had was fine). You're going to hate ALL men just because ONE person was an ass? You know cis men are born cis men, right, they can't help being cis men? If you said you hated any other kind of person just because 1 person from that group was mean to you once, you'd be considered a bigot, but it's totally fine and cute and quirky to hate cis men. Ugh. Plus this happened in the same chapter they were saying that they hate TERFs, and like. How can you hate TERFs if you're spewing the same "cis men are evil" that TERFs spew? You literally already fell for one of their tactics.
Anyway, there were a lot of instances like that were the characters were super judgey about something when they obviously had no idea what they were talking about.
