Such a Fun Age: Reese's Book Club (A Novel) di Kiley Reid
What is the saying- the road to hell is paved with good intentions? This novel exposes the unconscious racism and bias which exists within well intentioned white people.
I really like Such a Fun Age, so I was looking forward to this. Total disappointment. I did the audiobook and felt throughout that it was just bad teenage TV.
I don't need likable characters in a book, but these days, I prefer to have some glimmer of hope -- not to walk away from a novel, particularly a well written one, feeling really sad for everyone in the book. There's enough to feel sad about already.
I am baffled by people who need characters to be 'likeable.' If you could hear what goes on in any person's head 24/7 they wouldn't be 'likeable.' Media literacy is at an all-time low.
