A review by ohmage_resistance
Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White

dark emotional tense
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
I generally liked this book. The real strength of it was the representation (the MC being trans, working class from Appalachia, and autistic were the main focus, but he was also aro-spec and
became disfigured
, and the cast of side characters was also pretty diverse). I did like the way that working class issues in Appalachia were talked about. It was never particularly subtle, so know that going in, but I think it works especially well as an intro to these topics that probably not a lot of teens are familiar with. 

I'm reading this for an online bookclub, so I'm excited to see where discussion will go with this!
