A review by josb
Worthy of Love by Quinn Ivins
3.0
A light read that did a good job of getting the story and the characters across. It was written well and both of the mains were sweet messes. As a person with very little understanding of the United States political scene, I felt like it was explained in a way that was not too overwhelming or boring. There was also a character that coded neurodivergent that we did not pretend was neurotypical.
The big reason for reading this was the Filipino MC, which was nice. I felt like there could have been more about the character to make me connect with our shared culture, but I also appreciate that the author did not try to explain my culture to me. Overall, I think it was a great way to introduce a non-white main, while still acknowledging their culture, but in a way easy enough for people who are not familiar with Filipino people.
Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of "character thinks they are unlovable but LI proves them wrong" trope.
