I expected so much more from this book. I felt underwhelmed and disappointed.
💫Pros: Discusses important topics like LGBTQ, Racism and identity.
📈Cons: It didn't have enough passion, I didn't feel much of a connection with characters. Wished that that the topics were discussed in depth. On top of that, for one of the main storylines we didn't get the climate it was building up for.
