This book is being challenged at my public library, so I volunteered to read it and be on a committee to decide its fate. The book is already in the adult section, so I don’t know what the problem is.
This was not my kind of book. But I do have to admit that it is a good book. Once I got used to the writing style, I got pulled in. I do wish that we had gotten a little more of her healing journey, and I’m more than a little mad about her decisions at the end, but that is more of my issue than the story’s.
This should definitely remain on library shelves though. Get fucked, book banners.
