A review by sarahcuddie
No Good Deed by Goldy Moldavsky

3.0

I wanted to love this book. I was really into the set-up, with all of the jokes about young activists and junior social justice warriors. There were parts of it that were so good, but I felt like it got so tangled up with the love story or friendship story in the middle and lost some of the focus that I was looking for. If the weight had been a little more in favour of Gregor figuring out what the deal is with changing the world and trying to understand how to do that as a young person in a world that puts so much value on money and power, this book would have been amazing. Because it turned into a love story with that as the background, I would say I only liked it. The parts that were good were super funny and seemed very real. The parts that were about this kid fumbling his way through his first love distracted from this.

I got a free ARC of this book at BookCon from the publisher.
