This would have been a terrific book, if it had been narrated by Grace. The narrator is annoying beyond measure, and nobody needed this book to be translated through the eyes of a privileged American who stomped in there to play white savior. I was surprised to see that the writer was not, in fact, a high schooler, but instead an adult who committed too much to the juvenile voice.
