1.0
a great example of how NOT to write about disabilities. the books absolutely reeeeeeeks of ableism, specifically the christian, condescending, pray it away, toxic positivity, inspiration porn type. not to mention the romanticizing of a boy forcing his way into a girls life, not allowing her boundaries or consent for anything and then being emotionally unavailable and disappearing until she coddles him.
absolute garbage and painfully obvious it’s written by an abled person wanting to play disability dress up.
even more unsettling to look up the author and see how much writing advice they’re pumping out on socials. please no.
the writing itself, even if we removed all the toxicity, is very redundant, boring, contradicting, so overly cliche, characters are very 2 dimensional.
the most ironic quote from this book,
“if you ask me, i’d rather hear stories from a kid who’s been dragged through the mud than from a kid who read about it online”
advice she should’ve taken herself
