Wow, did I enjoy this read. While the beginning was slow, the rest of the book made everything worth it. I did, however,  feel that Finch’s parents were very one dimensional. But other than that my only complaint is the fact that the author had no clue how high school debates run. Maybe this is just from my personal experience, but you can’t hypothetically change the time period during a round and a POI is not a part of a debate, it is a speech style which cannot be made up on the spot, which they also did in this book. Once my nerd self gets past that though, 5🌟
