I Vote You, Mr. Mayor by Isabella Renee
0.0
I wish I could delete this from my brain. The worst, the WORST Puerto Rican rep I have seen in a long time. It’s extremely clear there wasn’t one single sensitivity reader for this book. The author blocked me when I suggested she get some because the book is filled to the brim with problematic themes, stereotypes and just WRONG everything. Things a Puerto Rican would never say, do. Let’s add that the character’s name is Duncan Thatcher? Excuse me, ma’am but whose white baby is that? The author couldn’t even manage to put an ambiguous man on the cover but a straight up white bread man made in the mountains of caucasus.
“Hispanic Cary Grant” GAG.
Throw the whole book away.
PS: the words “Puerto Rico” were said 16 times. Abuela was said 31 times. THIRTY ONE. Abuela would like to go to bed now. This book deserves to be stomped out by a chancla.
