2.0

Voor de derde keer gelezen, dit keer voor een paper over racistische ideologieën. Het boek is al langer in opspraak voor het verkeerd benaderen van interraciale relaties, het fetishizen van Aziatisch-Amerikaanse personen en het rechtvaardigen van (geïnternaliseerd) racisme. Het feit dat het boek geen tegenbeweging maakt is voor mij problematisch. Ik vind dat de onderwerpen van huiselijk geweld en pesten daarentegen wel goed besproken worden.

There are many disturbing things in this book; Domestic abuse, compulsive lying, violence, and bullying. I don't condone all these things. It's disgusting! 

All bullies and abusers need to go to therapy to be better people. (I know they are fictional; I'm talking about their real-life counterparts)

For some reason, I was drawn to this book, maybe because I was curious about their lives, aka Asian guy who is lost and a girl who knew who she was. 

I hate that uniqueness and self-expression were teased or bullied. (for example, how Eleanor dressed or Park's eyeliner)

I can only imagine domestic abuse. I always wonder why people can't get out of abusive people, but it's far beyond easy due to the manipulation, pain, and control over them by the abuser. It pains me that people experience these kinds of things. 

Richie needs jail time!!! 

My heart broke every time Eleanor and the kids had to live and their basic needs were deprived. It must be hard to raise five children with a minimum or below minimum wage; I get the perfume; it was a luxury, but toothpaste? Oh my god! 

Honestly, I was worried in the last few pages that Eleanor and Park might not reconnect, but thank the heavens, they did. 

I wanted to believe that the three words are I love you, I miss you. Haha!

I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely the sort of book that can remind you how intense emotions are when you are 17. 

I started crying when Park’s dad let him go, and I didn’t stop until the last page.
