tropic_anaaa's review against another edition
3.0
I really liked the basis of the story. It's probably the first book I've ever read that was set in 1950s America and it was interesting subject matter. I liked that it was told in the point of view of a teenager; it shows that America's fear at this time was blind and often wasn't understood by young people. It took a while to get the story going, though, and the dialogue was pretty childish.

Similar to, but much better than, Cushman's [book:Loud Silence of Francine Green]. The conflict between knowing when to stand up for yourself and when to back a friend, the questions about the Red Scare and the A-bomb and religion all felt far realler and less message driven.

genevieve seemed much younger than she actually was
the info dumps were excessive. like fantasy level
the 1960s culture was definitely full force but sometimes to the point of artificiality
