Tbh I wish more people were critical of this book, the casual ableism, treatment of the indigenous characters, the trauma p*rn the MC goes through just to set up the “good for her” end, etc, all were distracting from an interesting story that needed some nuance.
Of course, it was written by a man and it shows but the lack of critical response is mind blowing. I see this book recommended so often but rarely see any of this mentioned. Like, it’s totally possible to love this book despite its flaws but these baring red flags have been seemingly glossed over or not noticed, which concerns me.
P.S. I read this because, after seeing it rec’d so much on TikTok, I saw it in a “feminine rage” Reddit thread. Oh well.
