Bringing attention to the topic of HIV and the stigmata assigned to it is all fine and a worthy cause but what’s going on with that weird sexualized relationship between Themba and his sister? That is not necessary in the least for the story but feels like a white author is getting some kick out of having his underage black protagonists touch each other in not appropriate ways.
Apart from that the writing style is inconsistent and infantilistic. On purpose? Maybe but not convincing.
The story idea is fine but the realization is poor and therefore can’t rate highly as a book.

2.5⭐. Ik that this book talks about important themes. But it was just quite boring written. Maybe if I was older I'd enjoy this book more but I'm not so I didn't. Still a good read (I mean it was a book I read for school so...). But the ending??????? I did not read this whole book to get this mf ending?
