A review by efsimpkin
Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.
I am sure that this deserves all the hype it got 20 years ago. But I feel like I’m being beaten around the head with the same recurring themes and how Sephy and Callum’s POV chapters aren’t that different. Neither of them speak like teenagers. Lynette’s mental health issues are played for laughs, it’s awful. I truly commend Malorie Blackman for the idea of this book, the flipped racism, I found that so interesting, but I can’t suffer through the state of this writing to find out what happens. 

UPDATE I READ THE PLOT AND???? BRO WHAT. Nah. NAH. NOPE
