A review by holyhekkador
The Go-Between by Veronica Chambers

3.0

I started out loving it, but it got worse each chapter. It was fun to read about Cammi's life in Mexico City, but after that, it felt like the book was more a summary than an actual novel. Characters like Tiggy, Willow, and Milly were two-dimensional, and Cammi's supposed boyfriend, Amadeo, showed up for a total of like 5 pages and had no personality at all besides behind hot. It made good points about immigration, race, class, and the intersection of all three, but in the end, it just wasn't written thoroughly enough. It felt like reading Spark Notes.

Edit: Reading through other ppl's reviews, I'm realizing that the race aspect was handled even worse than I thought. And Cammi sucks, obviously. (Also, totally forgot about Tapestries' cultural appropriation. That was crazy.)
