100 pages in and I'm close to throwing the book against the wall. Argh.
I think the problem is that this book is far too shallow to make anything about the emotions work. Too many head hops, too many diversity set pieces, not nearly enough emotional connection with the subject matter.
Dangnabit, I'm disappointed. But I have a few other reads I'm going to tackle tonight after this.

Finished. It's really with a heavy heart that I give this only a single star for a rating because it was NOT good.
And we need to have a serious talk on what diversity actually is and how to show it properly, because there's no excuse for bland stereotypes of characters being shown so immaturely shown in the context of such a heavy topic.
I didn't cry with this novel, I just ended up being upset and disgusted.

184 pages in this book and I'm thinking "These 54 minutes really seem like it's way, way too long."

Decided to read this one after a bout of major book hopping, and it looks like I'll be finished with this one tonight. I can already tell you this will be an interesting review because I see quite a few problems here, but this isn't nearly as preachy or substance lacking as "Shades of Blue", which I felt was far worse.
