i liked this more than my average read but it took me a long time to get into because the first half of the book felt so similar to “one of us is next” by karen mcmanus. i liked the allegorical elements, and appreciated the commentary the book was making about race relations. however, the writing felt a little awkward at times, even for YA fiction.
