I went into this book with very high expectations and too much excitement. But it didn't quite work out for me.
It's a good book that tackles a very important subject and does so well. It could have leaned into it more, but I also feel as though it would've taken away from the message of the book. The writing is great, it flows well and it's easy to consume.
I really loved the switch from past to present. I thought it was done pretty well and I have a soft spot for books who do that.
What I had an issue with, personally, were the characters. Not with their development or how they were written, but with who they were as people. It reminded me too much of people I know which is also a good thing, it speaks about how realistic the characters are, but it was overwhelming at times.
