Audio is too quiet and I don’t care for the writing style. I love the topic and other books like it but I think I just prefer the style of J California Cooper.

This was certainly fan service. But I’m a fan and I was serviced.

However *light spoiler warning* I assume she’ll do another book to bridge the Capitol’s history from here to the revolution but I wanted some more of that info here and it was missing.

I was bored during a lot of the book. I have a MA in history and teach Latin American History so I liked the real connections being made but I was never fully engaged. Idk if that’s due to a weak narrator or weak story

When I picked this up I thought it was going to have a decolonial or post-colonial lens. I found out pretty quickly it didn’t. I felt it went the colonial #GirlBoss approach. I wanted to like this book so much and I just didn’t

I loved it. Best narrator ever and I listen to a lot of books. I have to admit, the beginning threw me for a loop and if I wasn’t reading it for a book club I likely wouldn’t have finished it. I’m so glad I did though because I loved it and can’t wait to read the follow up.

There were moments were I thought, “here we go, I’m really going to love this part” and immediately got let down. So many opportunities to discuss communism, colorism, patriarchy , etc and every time the author chose to focus on teen drama instead

It took 3 books but she finally showed growth.

The series is like a popcorn movie. Fun and predictable but I found the protagonist annoying because she wouldn’t grow at all. She finally did

It’s a fun romance book but the protagonist not showing any growth until chapters in the 50s of book two is annoying

I love the passion of the author. I agree with and recognize my long term agreements with the conclusions the author makes. But I also found frustrations. Not frustrations with conclusions (though I can imagine that accusation coming) but frustrations with the lack of “how’s”. There are a lot of “you need to…” but very little “here is how…”

The author simultaneously says (in sum) that we need to ditch the excuses while also recognizing that teachers not having the resources and schedule to meet the demands are failures of the administration. But, if those are what is preventing me from doing things and I advocate for the changes, what am I supposed to do?

So I recognize the good in the book but I am left frustrated nevertheless.

So many people have theories for why Trump gained so many Latine voters. Many are based in racist tropes. This book does an amazing job going into nuance and detail to help understand the shift
