4.5

i usually wouldn’t find myself rating a book i read for school so high, but i think this story deserves it. 

there’s so many layers to this story and so much to unpack, so i’ll just say that i genuinely enjoyed it. i know it’s controversial, but i really did like it. i laughed and cried and i think it was very reflective in many ways. the character development was incredible, but also i guess that’s the point of the story. the way scout reflects on her story at the end from a different perspective gave me a very strong sense of completeness. i’m sad after reading this, but also i feel ready to go into my english class tomorrow and reflect on it.

definitely a reread ✅

read this for english class and loved the writing style after i got used to it (30ish pages). the topics explored are hard to get through and the ethics of the white author’s usage of racial slurs throughout the book are not my place to speak on, but something to be aware of. overall, i found the story to be deeply moving and i think it’s worth your time!
