Reviews with content warning for Racism - Blended

A great ya read. It covers racism, divorce, police brutality, and growing up as a mixed kid. It was intense towards the end, but a very honest portrayal of the world we live in today and how it effects the youth.

I listened to this and it was my first ever Playaway experience. I enjoyed listening.

This was a great book. I got some insight into biracial identity while also heavily relating to Isabella’s family dynamic and experience with divorced parents. I did think the pacing was odd at times and the end felt rushed, as well as several things I wish were talking about on a deeper level. I still enjoyed this book and it talked about a lot of issues I hadn’t before read at the middle grade level. I would recommend this book.

I overall enjoyed the book, but I felt that the ending was just unfinished. I really wanted to see a few more events, but I felt it was blandly wrapped up.

Ok wow this book was good. The divorced parts were really relatable and it was very interesting to read of the experience of blended race. The ending of the book completely shocked me and I almost started crying. I do wish she could have gone to her piano recital but I see that the book needed a different ending.
