A review by kailey_luminouslibro
The Umbrella House by Colleen Nelson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
Roxy lives in the Umbrella house where her grandmother first began to live as a squatter who gained rights over the property in a co-op after the legal owners tried to evict the squatters. She and her best friend want to do a news story about a graffiti artist who vandalizes buildings without permission but whose work is considered legitimate art. The big bad conglomerate is buying up properties in the area and evicting tenants, and Roxy worries that they might try to take away her beloved home.
I didn't finish this book. I read the first forty pages and realized that the moral premise of the book doesn't quite align with my own moral compass. I think I would have just been annoyed with the moral perspective in this book. Any other time I might have continued to read anyway and been interested to explore someone else's perspective. However, I started reading this while I had a toothache, and I just wasn't in the mood for all the moral gray areas.
