saskiaac 's review for:
This Train Is Being Held
by Ismée Williams
This book started out really strong; the explorations of race, living in a black body and the inherent fear that your unwanted body is taking up space in a white world; the discussions of mental health and familial expectations; the passion for sports and writing.
It all went downhill from the instagram messages 2/3 of the way through where the male mc took on a typical toxic male approach, blaming the female mc for “making” him feel a certain way. That ain’t it. This interaction completely reoriented my feelings towards him, despite adoring his character from the start.
An altogether cute and moving story discussing identity, self-worth, what is right, and love.
