It took me a long time to get to this book, but I'm so glad I finally did. This is such a powerful book, with a lot of great, diverse representation. It's not an easy read, especially since this was published three years ago and so many of the issues are still prevalent. Anger Is a Gift is definitely a must-read for anyone who likes activist fiction in YA, especially activist fiction that feels incredibly realistic.

-Not a fan of how this author wrote their disabled character
-Some things just seemed like technological inaccuracies.
The whole metal detector part was not the most believable to me

-The main characters weren't exactly one dimensional, but they were written as perfect and faultless (except for Esperanza) which made for boring reading sometimes. It was hard to connect with anyone

I liked the diverse cast of characters, the social justice plot, and
that the end wasn't wrapped up in a perfect bow
. I know some people say that it was unrealistic for Moss and his friends to experience no homophobia, especially at school, and I agree, but I don't think it's a flaw. It's actually refreshing to read about someone who uses they/them pronouns, for example, and is never misgendered or deadnamed.
