A review by j_olip
Taxonomy of Love by Rachael Allen
2.0
Advanced Reader Copy received at BookCon (June 2017).
This book was the definition of "meh". Wasn't bad but wasn't exactly good. Hope was borderline a manic pixie dream girl, which is always a hard pass for me. I wanted to like Spencer but I just couldn't. I wish the novel dealt more with navigating high school with a disability, about the relationship between the brothers (there were some major problematic things going on here) and gave any other character more backstory. We know nothing about the other characters in play, and they had lots of potential.
