Lake by Michelle Heard
2.0
As much as I was looking forward to Lake's story, I was so disappointed with its fruition. In spite of what I'm assuming are the author's best intentions, the story ended up coming across as white Savior-y, and upheld some harmful stereotypes.
Frankly, I think this story would have worked much better had Lee been white. The author was writing outside of her lived experience in ways that I think ended up harming the narrative rather than helping it.
