The MC is unsufferable with so much internalized ableism it hurts. She refuses to let go of a 20 year grudge and shuts out literally everyone in her life to her own detrement and as a disabled reader I wanted to shake the sugar out of her constantly.I was so in love with the premise and it had so many problems

Although there are no direct examples of Antisemitism in the book, it is referred to a couple of times by the characters. Also, one of the characters describes her experience escaping Germany during the Holocaust.bedtimesandbooks's review
