They say don't judge a book by its cover. Shame on me.

With a title like this I expected more. I was bored for a lot of it but didn't dnf because I was waiting on the hot monster. And I got a hot monster so I wasn't upset. I bought this from Target and I would've rather rented it from the library. But its mine now and I wrote all over it with a buncha hearts! I love when Black girls !!!!! And fuck it I’ll buy the sequel too!

The main issue is that she's a Black girl, an everyday person from America, trying to fit in in racist ass upper class France. Like I wanted to reach into the book and yell at her girl it's never gonna happen!!! Not that that's her fault but that's literally the only conflict. Notice how her life got better when she got a Black bestie? Yeah exactly.


Also the voice actress for the audio book Kristolyn Lloyd was so amazing I looked her up to see what else she's done. I'm so happy she's gonna read the sequel too! She gave so much life to the characters and the narration! Ugh! Finally some good fucking food! 5 stars for Kristolyn Lloyd!

At first I was like boo I’m not gonna have sympathy for the school shooter but then the writing is good enough that I did except I like that the school shooter had the awareness to know he was wrong. Love when characters are aware of their delusions. Love the parallels of the characters. Or maybe I’m thinking of the term foils. Anyway, I loved it so much. I’ll be reading whatever Douglass does next.

Manic pixie dream Stargirl. Another story that only works because the kids are all white. Still, I got a lot of goosebumps. I too am that autistic girl who just doesn't understand society.

Read this attached to my version of The Name Bearer but logged separately bc the short story should have a different rating

All the besties better have backstories! It was okay, just a lil more info about the character. Nothing spectacular.

I didn't like the ending. It’s like the season of a show ended in the middle of an episode instead of at the end, but its okay bc we know it got greenlit for more seasons. I had an adequate amount of fun.

A story that only works because all / the majority of kids are white. Book takes place in 6 days.

Would've been a fine story until the age gap relationship at the end. Yuck!

Adiba Jaigirdar, the woman that you are! And then I find out the art was done by Nabigal!!! 🥰 The characters felt younger than 16 but everything still works no matter the age!
