I really did enjoy this book. It is a compelling story from start to finish BUT it is hard to reconcile my feelings on the book overall with the controversy of the author. I think it is important conversation to have about who gets to write what stories and what voices we as readers amplify. Despite this, the writing itself is very good and it was a gripping story.
