Watch Us Rise by Ellen Hagan, Renée Watson
3.0
i really love feminist books - and i feel like this one has great lessons and teaches a lot about inspirational women - but it wasn’t executed great.
chelsea was a really annoying character - the book would’ve been much better without her point of view. she had good intentions, but she was just a privileged white feminist who came across about whiny at some points.
i was into the romance at first, but the more i read the worse it got. at the end of the book, it didn’t feel complete? it was almost like it was just forgotten about.
overall, this book was ok. it had great lessons and was inspiring, but the writing was very simplistic and the characters were average. i don’t recommend this book as there are better feminist books out there, like moxie and the nowhere girls, which i highly recommend.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
