Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/7ry-SBPAwqE

Personally I thought this book would be a cutesy retelling of Anne of Green Gables, that is what I get from the synopsis and cover but not at all (for me) what the story gave! I think it carried some very serious topics and plotpoints surronding racism and homophobia, these are of course very important topics to write but I felt like they overshadowed a lot of the story. It might just be the story the author wanted to tell, which is fine. It just wasn't balanced enough for me. We had these super serious things happening and then the writing tried to be light about it and it just didn't work for me. There was also a lack of consequenses and reflections upon the events that happened. The book just didn't hit me where I think it wanted, but I still enjoyed parts of it. I could see a good story in there, but how it was executed was not it for me. More elaborate thoughts in my video! 3/5 stars.
