This book is extremely well written. I enjoyed the characters and thought they were developed in a way that made them feel real and relatable. While there are some very heavy topics and themes in the story I felt that there were all handled with respect and grace.
My only complaint with this book is that at times it became highly political and while I understand that there are lots of politics involved in the school system and that these topics should absolutely be talked about for me reading is an escape from real life.
Overall I think this was an enjoyable read that I would gladly recommend, I was just not the targeted audience for this story.
Thank you to Netgally, PENGUIN GROUP Dutton, and Jennifer Mathieu for the ARC and for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review.
