[Daniel Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the book! I read Madeleine's first book and it just gets better from here. The book is NOT a kids book it's a teenage and even an adult book. Madeleine discusses a bunch of insults such as saying gay to mean stupid or the R word to describe someone who has a disability. I truly applaud Madeleine in the most sincere way possible. I admire her courage and strength to write a book that definitely pushes boundaries. this book has the target demographic of middle school to high school, but to be completely honest there are many adults who could use a refresher on being tolerant and kind. Way to go Madeleine can't wait for a third because your books get better and better!
