This book didn’t suck but I just wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t really like Maleeka all that much and I just felt like the writing wasn’t that clear at a lot of points. I’m really disappointed by the fact my school picked this for a Battle of the Books book when it is filled with so many trigger warning worthy things. I.e, child abuse, arson, toxic friendships, suicide jokes, racism, body-shaming, and those are just the ones off the top of my head.
