Ugh. "The Extraordinaries" is one of my most disappointing 2020 reads. Might have something to do with the fact that I was so excited to read it after reading the first chapter preview. Mostly has to do with the extraordinarily bad timing of this book's release. It has to do with the police......and look, I get that this is supposed to be a lighthearted book and in an ideal world the police force would mostly be a force for good, and it's understandably more skewed because the main character is the son of a police officer, but so much of it didn't sit well with me. I was generally cool with the humor but then Nick goes and jokes twice specifically about police brutality and intimidation. This is where I was like, Really now?
