Reviews

The book had an interesting premisce but I was a little too preoccupied to give it much attention and plus I had just finished In the Lives of Puppets so it was a switch up to read this more YA leaning book. Overall not bad but just picked it up at a bad time and might revisit later

THIS is how you develop a story and its characters! I have never once read a book that better shows the deconstruction and reconstruction of someone’s belief system. And what a lovely metaphor for the way society treats those who are different from the “norm”.

This book has reconfirmed for me that I wasn’t crazy when I’ve been upset about “too perfect of an ending” in other books where it just doesn’t fit. While I’m excited for the sequel, I would be perfectly content with this being the end of the story. It was wrapped up beautifully in a way where you can imagine what life will look like moving forward for these characters. That being said, I can’t wait to actually see what comes next and from Arthur’s point of view.

Such a nice book!
Everything from the story until the language used.
A must read for everyone, especially the ones who doubt about diversity
