It felt like this book was trying to cover a lot of different themes and topics and this wasn't always done in a very nuanced or smooth way. It often felt like the author was directly telling you these big things to tick boxes, rather than leading the reader to them in a way that fit with the flow of the story. It's still a decent story, but I don't think it quite lives up to the extreme hype tiktok gave it.
