Preachy is a real deal breaker for me!

I’ve been back and forth on this one for the same reasons as Sarah. Great review, Catherine. This really helps me feel better about keeping it less of a priority (if I get to it at all).

Definitely, Sarah. If I had wanted a non-fiction book about how bad racism in America is it would have been eye-opening coming from such a personal level but as fiction it completely obscured the story.

Sounds like it started out well for you, but maybe veered into the second category?
