I’m giving this 3 stars because it made me as angry as the book on the Rwandan Genocide. It was entertaining and I couldn’t stop reading it, but it did make me cringe a whole lot. Also it felt like there was a lot going on with everyone so that made me confused as to where the story was gonna go. Forgot to say that this book didn’t make me feel sad WITH Lily, it made me pity her and be angry at her too. I don’t know if that was the point but eh whatever
Also sure Atlas is the good guy in this storybut still a senior dating a sophomore grosses me out. I don’t like Ellen and never have because she gives me the same vibe as Jimmy Kimmel (they both poke at the people they’re interviewing until the people look uncomfortable and it gives me second hand embarrassment).
I hated Ryle from the start so props to me for that. I’m glad Alyssa told Lily to leave her brother but also she defended him when she knew what happened and that’s one of the things that made me so mad.
I feel like I should have been given a trigger warning but I’ll let it slide. This isn’t my kind of book
