It is so rare that you see a book about white people discussing their race. I am so glad Dig exists and opens the door to reckon with the way white supremacy has a real impact on white people- it takes away responsibility and humanity. This book gives grace while holding white people responsibility for racism. It sometimes told rather than showed (especially in the beginning) but the ending was fantastic.

it’s definitely a weird and
offputting read at first- but that’s kind of the point! it’s really intriguing as you get into it and really satisfying by the end. worth it !!

A.S. KING IS OFFICIALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE YA AUTHORS. no one could write complex YA stories than her (and Melina Marchetta). i'm officially obsessed.

This book was challenging to get into because of the different perspectives and characters that didn’t have names. The book was like a puzzle you had to piece together.

I think the author did an amazing job really making each character’s perspective stand out and feel different from the other character’s.

However, once I was a third of the way through the book, I found it to be very predictable. I guessed one major spoiler right away and the people involved in it. I also guessed how all of the characters would come together. That knocked this book down a few stars.

Overall, the book was interesting but definitely not something I’d read again.
