lizzy_elaineee's review against another edition

sad tense fast-paced

3.0

i bought this book on sale for less than $2.99 

i thought it would give some insight on the parallels between the iraq war & palestine under occupation, that didn't happen which is fine i guess. i could've done without the racism, sexism, homophobia & ableism it really didn't add anything to the story so there was no point in adding it at all. i found the dad character insufferable for 90% of this novel.
