qgg's review against another edition
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.75
Unfortunately, the Raje family dynamics are toxic
Other reviews mention the length of the book and the side plots. I really liked the author’s writing and I think they helped develop Trish’s character.
I have two more issues.
1. Trish seemed to be written as autistic-coded. The book already was ableist AF. (Full star deduction for that.) Limited special interests, difficulty making friends, intense loyalty, strong *personal* ethical code (not necessarily aligned with laws like HIPAA), hyperfocus to the point of excluding sleeping and eating…. The only marker not explicitly stated was stimming. So, DJ’s dislike of her is even more ableism in this book.
2.
