This book was all over the place. Sydney’s concerns were valid and palpable. But the cartoon villain dialogue of the gentrifiers and the positioning of Theo as a White savior left a bad taste in my mouth. The climax was outlandish and came out of nowhere.
Graphic: Gaslighting
Moderate: Colonisation, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Kidnapping, and Violence
Minor: Death and Death of parent
