Overall, I loved that this book shed light to the harsh truth of the state of our planet and the importance of community when it comes to survival within the state of our environment. However, I thought it was totally unnecessary of the author to add a weird relationship between the 57-year-old and the 18-year-old mc and to add the I slur twice.
