A review by mckinlay
And She Was by Jessica Verdi
3.0
*I received an early DRC of this book for free from edelweiss and the publisher. This does not affect my review.*
TW: transphobia, use of dead names and mis-gendering.
I think writing a review for this is waaaay out of my lane. I tried to find trans reviews, but haven't been able to. So if you know of one, please link me!
I will say I really enjoyed Mellie's story.
I thought Dara was incredibly selfish, but she did have a lot of growth.
Sam was an absolute doll, and the highlight of the book, in my opinion.
THERE IS A LOT OF DEAD NAMING AND MIS-GENDERING IN THIS BOOK. while I do think it made sense in the context of the story, and the characters that were doing it, I hate that Dara repeatedly let it go without calling them out on it.
