A review by rebekahmm
Under the Rainbow by Celia Laskey
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
1.5
The concept of the story and the device of each chapter being a different character’s point of view was interesting. I’m from Kansas and live in Kansas City so some of the Kansas-specific references didn’t land quite right: a few mentions of Jayhawks and KU but none of K-State or their Wildcats which would have been much more likely in a small, homophobic Kansas town.
Some of the queer references and depictions seemed a bit shallow or forced which made the whole book feel a bit shallow and forced. Which may also be a result of telling a completely different story from 11 different people.
All in all this book felt like a waste of time to me.
