dejahentendu's review against another edition
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.5
The book was clearly written in the run up to the 2016 presidential election. Interestingly though, Bray was able to stay true to the time period while accurately reflecting what was going on in 2016 as well.
Notably, Bray did an excellent job representing mental illness with grace and understanding. Her depictions were sympathetic and accurate. I was impressed. I've really enjoyed her writing since I discovered her.

This book includes characters who are Black, Chinese, disabled, Jewish, and gay. There are minor characters who are LatinX, Black, and Jewish. Eugenics is a central conversation in the book. It is very strongly opposed.heather_freshparchment's review
