- A character with neopronouns is always a nice thing to see.
- Some of the passages around organizing really hit home, especially the ones that centered ideological disagreement amongst protesters.
- Always here for the fight for Palestinian liberation shown in a positive light.
Cons:
- Maddie is a pretty insufferable MC (main character) most of the time.
- It's very "white cis lady is on a journey" for the first half of the book, and it's exhaustkng even for me as a white AFAB person who also had to learn and come to radical viewpoints.
- Maddie's love interests are consistently awful and it's frankly hard to read.
