Okay, this book? Wild. Squirming All The Way Up is messy in the best way—ambition, secrets, and characters who do not play nice. Every page had me cringing, gasping, and low-key rooting for people I shouldn’t.

The drama is addictive, the writing is sharp, and the tension never lets up. If you love social climbing, betrayal, and characters who make terrible decisions you can’t look away from, this is your next read. Total page-turner.

This book perfectly represents the hate and discrimination people experience just for being a different race / sexuality than others. The relationship between the two brothers is another great representation of how family relationships look like when people choose to shut out their own family members simply due to who that specific family member loves. The creepy worms in the story made me feel like they were actually on me. So creepy! I love everything about this book including how it ended.

This book and I did not click, I found myself pushing to finish the short little novella. I think it was well written and the author did well but that I may not have been the right audience for this book.
