I wanted to love this book so much more than I did and that is not the authors fault, it’s so eloquently written and fresh, BUT I kept seeing the teacher from Victorious instead of Mr. Kingsley

As a fat brown person who sometimes feels like too much to love. I understood where Carmen came from in some sense and I feel for her and what she is endured. I love knowing she found love in the end.

How lovely it would be to live on the moon, to be free of judgement and rumors. I really enjoyed this and like most of Jackson’s work I now consider Castle to be a favorite.
