So I don’t read the synopsis of books - almost ever. I tend to go in blind based on the genre or the cover. I wish I’d read the synopsis for this although truthfully, I still haven’t read it so I don’t know for sure if I’d have been aware but I’d like to think so -

Too. Many. Politics. 

I do not like politics in my fiction. While it was well done, covered respectfully, focused on important issues and honestly super cute, I read fiction to get away from politics and political situations. So again, super cute, but just not something that I really want to read as a fictional story. 

Although, it was so stinking cute. This was a BOTM add on for me based on the cover and genre because I wanted something light and cute - while it had a light vibe, the topics covers made it heavier than I was prepared for. I did still enjoy it, but the politics are just not for me when I’m reading to escape reality.
