I. Love. This. Book.
In my opinion, it checks every box for a good book. Lovable, diverse characters you want to see win? Check. An interesting, plausible conflict? Check. Just plain good writing? Check.
I find it especially poignant in the current pandemic. I feel like this is a realistic commentary on our world and the way it's politics operate. If you look at the small details, the fine print, it seems almost like utopia, but that feeling goes away the second you look at a bigger picture. This is definitely a worthwhile read in the current political and social environment.
I'd reccomend this book to anyone and everyone over to age of about 10, because there is some swearing and graphic imagery.
