I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. It's clearly written by liberals, for liberals, and there's a general assumption that liberals have access to a "truth" that conservatives don't. But at times I felt some amount of sympathy towards the conservative point of view that was enlightening to me (as a liberal). For the book to have a broader appeal, it would've needed to be a bit more balanced. But that may not have been the author's goal.

It's a really good story. The first few chapters are really light and got me to laugh out loud ☺️ they got me hooked. Then the thematic became more serious, but still, the rebellion that is happening in those people's lives makes it all worth the read. A book that looks into how books can impact people's ideas and life and change your lives for the better. Bookbanning and white supremacy are part of the story, so it is probably quite relevant to the current events in America.

Fun read, maybe a few too many character threads, but overall very well done. Very timely.
