themoostconfused's review against another edition

it felt like a bad collection of milenial instagram quotes that pretend to be deep but aren't at all.
the anti-roma racism was the last straw that immediately made me dnf it.

This book was an interesting kind of parable. it has plenty of moments that will stick with me for a while. i enjoyed how the author captures different point of view and didn’t let the story get so big that it couldn’t maneuver itself. the theme was really captivating.
