pick5⭐️ I loved it! This book is banned because of its LGBTQ themes, but I think they were missing the bigger picture of the story. It‘s about being true to yourself and standing up for what you believe in. It‘s about facing persecution whether it‘s for gender, race or sexuality. It‘s about overcoming obstacles and learning that just because somebody has always been in your life doesn‘t mean they should be. #ReadBanedBooks
Littlewolf1 To tell you the truth when I started reading this, I did not know what to expect. It‘s not my type of book in any sense of the word. But Lily is an amazing character, and I found myself inspired by her strength. And the character development in the story is so good. The added timelines and backstory of the supporting characters really help to provide insight into the story progression. All in all, this book was terrific. (edited) 1w

CatLass007 Unfortunately, all of the bigger themes that you mentioned probably still would have raised complaints from the banners. It‘s unfortunate, but true. People who want books banned accept their version of the truth alone. Everyone else is supposed to conform to their reality. Women and minorities should neither be seen nor heard. 1w

Read4life I agree with your assessment. I, too, loved this book and Lily! 1w
Littlewolf1 @CatLass007 You make a valid point. It‘s very disheartening how many people actually wanna steal another person‘s voice or make them feel less than. And the sad thing is, I doubt that anybody trying to ban this book has actually even taken the time to read it. 1w
Littlewolf1 @Read4life yes, Lily was a powerhouse refusing lose herself in order to make other people comfortable. 1w
CatLass007 This book is on my list to borrow from the library. 1w
