informative medium-paced

While I agree with many that this is could be a must read, I think I'd only recommend it to anyone who is completely new to the terms surrounding fast fashion and consumerism. Perhaps high school students or influencers who only wear SheIn, Princess Polly, Zara, TopShop etc.? 

The author brings up the fact that integrity is important, however I believe only citing Wikipedia and a few similar sites instead of actual science, business, and economic papers totally negates her push for integrity. Using Wikipedia as a citation is lazy and considering that anyone can edit Wikipedia pages, who is to say things in here are actually factual? 

That being said, I think some of this is valuable as it is informational on how our consumer cycle works as it's something that many people ignore. 

In the end, this seemed more like an opinion piece instead of a good piece of nonfiction with so many personal additives and meandering information. I say this is an opinion as for part of the book, the author seemed to level with the reader, but at others she goes on the offensive. It also seems centered on those who live in cities and doesn't give many equitable ideas to help this from those living in small towns in the middle of nowhere when sometimes fast fashion is the most accessible.
