2.5 it’s not bad, it’s fun but it starts to drag around page 175-200.
So, the main plot is about two high school students working together to uncover whatever secrets Cop’s mom had when she was in school before she died. Those secrets eventually bring them together.
The book isn’t bad and it’s rather funny in the first half but once it starts to drag it gets repetitive and boring. Cop is very big about injustices of the world but is rather judgmental about different ways of life in rural communities. Which for me… got annoying to keep reading about while they are being a judgmental hypocrite about other issues.
And before ppl come for me… I’m all for calling out injustices that have occurred and occur but it becomes… fake or what many say performative… when in the same breath those that are calling these issues out are being cruel and judgmental towards non-harmful/problematic ways of life. Like… the carnation fundraiser that happened in the book.
But the book does demonstrate the differences between country way of life and city way of life.
Overall, it’s a good middle grade/young adult book.
