daniellekat's review

Such an interesting topic and written in easy to understand language, BUT so repetitive 😣 I felt like this lacked a narrative flow or even just a main protagonist for the reader to connect with. As a Canadian, the US political ups and downs were lost on me, and there were so many characters rapidly coming in and out. This had potential but I think some of the choices made by the author just didn't suit my tastes.
