anakuroma 's review for:

Half My Luck by Samera Kamaleddine
3.0

TW: racism, racial slurs, uncalled out racist phrases, fire, burns, car explosion/burning

2.5

This one just didn't connect with me. I didn't enjoy the characters and found the author's casual use of racist phrases like 'hoodoo' and 'chinese whipsers' to be ironic given the underlying theme of race. I also didn't enjoy the main character continuously seeking out a boy she knew had a girlfriend.
