LAST WEEK'S TMT

★★★

NONFICTION

HISTORY

RELIGION/MYTH

This had wonderful historical context illustrations and last two chapters were well thought out, probably because they were about specific subjects, but the rest of the book was random brain spew. I have no doubt he researched this subject well, but there was no order to it.

★★★★★

(4.5)

YOUNG ADULT

CONTEMPORARY

FAMILY/RELATIONSHIPS

It was nearly perfect YA Contemporary.

YOUNG ADULT

HISTORICAL FICTION - 1972

MENTAL HEALTH

~~CIVIL RIGHTS~~

Published October 28th - Netgalley

This cover is very misleading. Right-hand fists raised is the sign of Black unity, and more specifically, in the 1970s when this story takes place, "Black Power"; but this is a book about a white girl, a whiney lower middle class white girl. So far the only thing I can think the book is trying to accomplish is to help white people feel better about being privileged. The truth is... even if you are lower middle class or poor white, you are still privileged in many ways. I felt duped at first because, along with cover, the summary made it sound like a story about the Civil Rights movement, but now I am glad I am reading it so I can call it out for what it is.
