This book tackles so many issues in our society today all through the lens of censorship of books in libraries. LGBTQ, Women's Rights, Racism, acknowledging America's racist past, rape, drug use, gun violence. There's plenty more that is not coming to mind right now. I was impressed with how many topics were covered.
This book is not nuanced (and it shouldn't be when it comes to censorship). It does feel like it's hitting you over the head sometimes. The characters, especially the book banners, are kind of like cartoon villains. That being said we've all seen these types on the news and social media.
