Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution by Kacen Callender
5.0
Every now and then there's a book that just grabs you by your throat and doesn't let go even after you finished the story. This was that book to me, one I feel like I've been silently waiting for. This felt só relevant it's almost stupid. I'M FEELING SO MANY FEELS.
This story has so much love. The representation the issues it adressed the conversations it started the characters and their struggles and arcs!! And there was SO MUCH LOVE. Phenominal.
It focusses on love and acceptance and hate and injustice and cruelty and desperation. How do we fight the injustice in the world? How do we love and accept others? How do we take accountability for our mistakes? Do mistakes define people? How do we navigate through cancel-culture?
How do we love ourselves?
There was very little plot and the whole book is cramped with thought dumps but I thought the bluntness and chaos of the narrative were perfect. It was feverish and desperate and that felt really fitting.
I loved it, an understatement but for reasons I'm unable to put more words to.
