Cawpile: 3.5* 6.71 (See below for why it is rated 2*)

I know this book was written in 1979, *however*, it has been repeatedly re-published since then, and I truly feel that although the repeated use of the word f*gg*t as insult from one sister to another when was it published may have been acceptable in a childrens/middle grade book in 1979, it *really* isn’t acceptable in 2022…
This really should have been spotted and replaced by an alternative more kid friendly word by now.
It really jarred me and I have to be honest I really didn’t like it, so I’m taking a star off of my cawpile rating for this. If I find out it’s been changed I’ll alter my rating.
