![]() ![]() ![]() there's zero reason for Sarah to fall in love with Linda, other than the fact that apparently debate gets her hot and bothered and there'd be plenty of that in their relationship.Īdditionally, i'm uncomfortable with a white author using a black character's voice to assign motivations for desegregation or other black politics to black people. in order to make that relationship work then, for the reader, you've gotta be really good and make there be really strong reasons. she may draw the line at physically assaulting the black students, but that doesn't make her any less racist. this book happily marches into the "oppressed and oppressor fall in love" trope. and ruth, the little sister, is a fantastic character who has her own pov chapter at the very end and i loved that. first off, the author did a lot of research, as she notes in the end, so props for that. ![]()
