broccoli_mmm's review against another edition
v. White Savior. The plot was predictable, black characters only served to help the white mc grow, and doesn’t grapple with racism in any meaningful way. The black main character is the mamie stereotype, and her only plot points are being abused and wanting to take care of the white mc. Not the worst book ever, and certainly well-intended, but I’d recommend choosing something else
