I don’t know how to feel about this book. I feel like there are parts in it that are just there to scream: “LOOK AT ME IM DIVERSE” like the constant not so subtle reminders that one of the main character is indeed black, even though I feel like no one else in the story was. it’s was just Jack and his brother and the rest of the cast was as white as the fallen snow.
then there were also a lot of parts that made me feel like I was being spoken down too, like when you’re constantly told whenever anything bad happens to Libby that she’s fat and her mom died. I KNOW
but I didn’t hate the book. I’m just not sure if I would really go out of my way to recommend it to other people.
