In Case You Missed It by Sarah Darer Littman

2.0

This story of a teenager's life being destroyed by her father's bad deed seems lacking. The author addresses issues of racism and misogyny but they are glossed over and not fully examined. If this book wasn't about a teenager and categorized as young adult fiction I would have thought it was meant for younger readers. The fact that the author brings up these weighty issues but then never truly examines them through the character's introspection leaves me wanting a more solid resolution. Overall, In Case You Missed It is well written with good pacing and an empathetic main character... But felt a bit hollow.
