Egads. That end…uh. I’m not going to say it ruined the book totally, but I don’t like it.

I like that Jared is bitching about using public transport. Very realistic, for an American teenager. 😄

Oh, I stand corrected on the names, Dad’s just being silly and calling them by names that aren’t their own. Still, my point stands (though slightly less of it).

This is a really good book in a lot of ways, but one of the things I really appreciate is how Rees Brennan portrays a racially blended family. They’re so totally normal, and much like many multiracial families that I’ve met. The kids have English names and Japanese names and use both. They all have different physical characteristics. Not all authors manage to do that without othering them.
