2.25
I gave it an extra .25 because I enjoyed the writing style. However, it gets my traditional this book is incredibly insensitive and potentially harmful rating of 2 base stars. I started to realize it around when “Indian princess” was used with just zero acknowledgement of what that means and how harmful it is. And then it was like oh, yeah, there’s a lot of that happening. Body shaming, cultural appropriation and stereotyping, a weird approach to having what seems to obviously be an autistic character, etc. also D is creepy af. So yeah.. just so much old white lady trying to be relevant without doing the work stuff.
