White men shouldn't write about issues they can't relate to. I respect that O'Dell had some historical knowledge and meant no foul intent. However, it comes of as white savior-y and holds a lot of inaccuracies. It's also wrong that white people are still profiting off of this book. That is all.

The beginning was so fun! And I love her writing style!
But halfway through it just got really repetitive and I began to lose interest
4.5 Stars!
Some stories weren't for me but such a fun read! A lot of people were upset by how modern the stories are! But I loved that part!
3.5 ✨What a funny author! I loved her writing style!
My only critique is that the book was SOOO good in some parts but so cheesy in other parts!
Overall a good book. Just a bit inconsistent.
3.5
Took me a while to finish but has such incredible stories. Had some slow parts hence the rating. Otherwise, a beautiful story!
Soooo good! Mouth agape the whole entire time! The writing is so clever and I just love the protagonist!
Lots of twists I didn't expect! I was really apprehensive at first but I really like this one! Maybe I'll read the other ones.
My heart is heavvyyyyy from finishing this book. Shattered me to pieces. Take your time with this one.
So badly wanted to love this one. Some parts I found myself really engaged with but for 85% of the book, I was highly disappointed. The cover slays though.
Main protagonist is a little annoying. I did enjoy that I stopped reading this book at night bc it made me a bit paranoid!
I really like this one! 4 stars because some of the writing is choppy and rushed.
Update: after reading the third book I have decided I love this one. 5 stars
The only book that has ever made me feel sick due to the gore (this is a good thing)! I've never read a book that has made me feel this way. Only downside was that since it is written originally in a different language, it doesn't translate well in certain parts.
