3.75

objectively, this book should be a 3.25 — it’s very feminism / antisemitism 101, and rowan feels too much like a self-insert from someone who had a wildly different childhood than i did. like i just genuinely can’t imagine a world where people are that explicitly discriminatory against jewish people? i feel like most discrimination in today’s day and age is more implicit than anything. but also consider that neil is kind of my dream boy and i’ve also dealt with a lot of nostalgia about the high school and college experiences that will never be — so yeah i cried (several times) and it gets a bump up for that. one of those books where i completely understand why someone would say the technical elements aren’t perfect, and they’d be right! but solomon does capture that feeling of nostalgia so well, and that’s really what ya books are all about.
