Every Time a Rainbow Dies by Rita Williams-Garcia

TW// R**e & SA
I have a lot of thoughts but let me start off with the fact that this is NOT a YA book. The literal first scene we get in this book is Ysa being r**ed in an alley and it’s like TOO descriptive. Additionally, there are additional explicit scenes throughout the book and terminology that should not be used in YA writing. We have to keep in mine that the YA age bracket starts around TWELVE!! 12!!!! NOOOO. If any twelve year old I knew read this, I’d be mortified.
Second, Thulani basically spends this whole book stalking Ysa even after she has repeatedly told him no and to go away. He still follows her around and watches for her. CREEPY!
The plot itself was boring as all get out and the writing was sub par at best.
Thank god I rented this from the library.
