#Friday Reads » March 27, 2020

Even for me it was like a 3 out of 5 stars because you don't really connect to it and you spend a lot of time just really wondering what the heck is going on. And even like a lot of the interviews, like a lot of the transcripts, there are significant portions of it that are not relevant.

I do really like how the author tackles all of the things about race and racial tension. I think that it's done really realistically and this would be like a great book for teenagers to read and to sort of like discuss like the topics that come up in here and how like they would feel in those situations and why certain things are right and wrong and things like that.

It was like a fun contemporary read but there was just like a lot of things that felt like they were rushed or didn't really feel realistic. Obviously like this whole scenario was kind of absurd.

The way I described it on Goodreads is that this book felt like a weighted blanket for my brain because there were such a like ease and calm that came over me after I started reading this book, which is like exactly we needed because you know the world. But I don't necessarily know like if I loved this book.

But I will say that the book did win me over, or the story did win me over by the end of it. It goes some really interesting and difficult places that they were hinting at towards the beginning of the book but then they like really went there at the end of the book and I really appreciated the book for that.

But this is one that I listened to an audio book and the audio book is actually really good. So if you are an audiobook person and you have been interested in checking this out, I recommend it.

There is like so little that happens in books two and three that it like blows my mind that this was more than a duology. I honestly don't think it should have been more than one book.

I wouldn't necessarily say like I loved it but like I said it's a good page-turner. So if you need something like that, I would recommend this.
