Thank you to Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House, for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. DNF @ 28%. I really hate to say it, but I had to put this down. The idea was so great, but the execution was lacking. At first, I was really enjoying the writing, as it discussed a lot of topics that I'm currently learning about in school and I found that to be especially engaging. However, once that part ended I was left with disappointment. Each story became more boring than the previous (the first one was very strong), and while I applaud the author for putting as much time and effort into this book as he did, I don't applaud him for the oversexualized descriptions of women and some of the commentary against the validity of cultural appropriation. After both of those offenses, I decided that I couldn't continue. It's truly a shame, as I was very excited about the release of this book. You win some, you lose some, I suppose.

RELEASE DATE: October 22, 2019
