The fact this was published in 2023 is absolutely appalling!!

First, there were a lot of really weird references to Israel.

Secondly, I think the issue with this book is that it's such privileged takes that water down facts to suit the author's narrative of absolving her of her own guilt. The whole section on non-violence proves this!! Telling oppressed people that befriending their oppressors will make the world a better place is advice that will get so many people killed.

The use of really ableist categorizing is the introduction of this novel which in itself is horrific!! 

On top of that, the author's harmful Christian beliefs bleed into every section of this work. Just so much was wrong with this book and I just don't have the time to go into all of it in this review.

This is without a doubt the most disappointing book I've read this year. I really hope that since this was published the author has done some work, learning, and growth.
