Love Is a Revolution by Renée Watson
2.0
This book was a big fat NO for me. This is my fourth Renée Watson book and I’m so disappointed. I could have never predicted me disliking this book this much. My main issue with this book is the main character, Nala. SHE WAS INSUFFERABLE! I found her to be condescending and judgmental of others ironically because she also thought people were judging her. She was so dismissive of what people around her were passionate about for literally NO REASON at all it was really weird to me. Like someone would say something about how they care about using reusable water bottles and not plastic and she would make it seem as if they were attacking her it was bizarre. She seemed like a hater throughout most of the book
My other issue with this book was the romance. This couple was so mismatched, I really didn’t see how they could work in the future. It made no sense to me. They didn’t seem like a good pairing like at all, they both felt too self centered and pushed their ideas on to the other instead of truly listening and caring about what the other person’s beliefs were. I felt like the whole loving yourself thing the author brought in last minute was so rushed and seemed very forced. In my opinion it would have made more sense if the couple didn’t end up together. This book was just not for me and I’m more surprised than anyone how much I didn’t like this book.
