A review by murve
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
I started this audiobook on Libby after recognizing the cover from multiple Goodreads lists over the last few years. I didn't read the summary or know what it was about when I started. After hearing the initial graphic content, I decided to look more into the title and its author.
Countless other reviews and websites have covered the full issues with this book. But since this author identifies as white and is attempting to cover a very sensitive Mexican/Latinx perspective, I will not be finishing this title.
