Half Bad by Sally Green

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

I kept trying to continue this novel but it just feels so wrong a white lady writing a black man’s experience I understand he’s olive in the book but in the tv series he’s played by a light skin black man given his skin is olive like because he’s light skin so I’m not judging the tv shows choice I’m judging the writer for writing the way she did and having a black man play her character forcing a black man to go through trauma similar to racism being the use of black vs white witch she could of done this a million ways that didn’t sound like magic racism and then to force a black through that magic racism??? Absolutely appalling I read a bit of it hoping I was misreading but it just became more apparent
