Chasing Pacquiao by Rod Pulido
3.0
the random gen z slang drove me insane. what do authors have against writing YA contemporaries that aren’t riddled with slang they don’t understand and don’t know how to use?
brandon sucks.
and just overall not particularly interesting. it’s not a particularly interesting or poignant exploration of… anything really. bobby’s reflection on pacquiao basically just comes down to “idk if he’s still my idol but i respect him as a boxer” 🤷🏼♀️ and he comes to that conclusion really quickly. lots of potential themes that could’ve been explored that are dropped or ignored.
