TW: Antisemitism. A lot of it. And a dash of homophobia to top it all off.
This is going to be long. Really long. And honestly, I’m exhausted by the rest of the world and I’d really rather not be writing another one of these posts so I’m not apologizing for the length of this. But I think it’s important to put all my thoughts and issues with this book into one post, instead of scattered angry tweets, and the tweets only encompassed a fraction of the problems I found in this book.
LOL fixed the link _(┐「ε:)_
Holy shit.
how in the hell did this trashfire get published??
…this may be worse than For Such A Time. No…actually. But it’s right up there. ICK.
this is the most blatantly terrible Holocaust story I’ve ever heard.
I actually think it’s worse than For Such a Time, because at least that trashfire was honest about the main character being a Christian. this kind of pretending is so insidious and poisonous.
Wasn’t For Such a Time also printed on a xtian “inspirational romance” imprint? I think that at least meant people could be prepared for the context/the audience was Christian from the beginning?
I kept reading this thinking the description had reached its pinnacle of badness with every paragraph, yet the shitshow just KEPT GOING.
