It felt insincere. But it's an okay middle grade book. I think it would have been better if a woman hadn't written it- at least not a cis woman.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
I had to return it to the library and it just wasn't worth renewing. The sentance structure was annoying to me and I couldn't really get into it.
