Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi
dark
fast-paced
3.5
this book properly nailed it in that I've almost grown out of YA. it's good for someone young who is into human rights storylines and themes, but literally everything felt a little underdeveloped. maybe it was because so much was going on. this book was too thin for an in-depth look into a revolution; I would've loved this if it was longer and spent time exploring the different topics discussed.
but overall this wasn't bad! I preferred Pet due to its focus into a fewer selection of themes and how much more it explored them
