2.5

This book has barely anything to do with banned books, let alone any books. It is decently plotted, in a soap opera style way. There is major family drama, with some spousal abuse, a sexual abuse scandal of a minor that happened when the main character was in high school, and an ill parent. These issues are serious, but again, written in a melodramatic way. I just wish it was marketed correctly, which is why I’d give it 2.5 stars.
