Wow! I remember learning about Tommie’s story in a high school history class however, I didn’t realize who this was until I got to that tumultuous moment at the Olympics. Amazing ❤️

Fun! A bit of magical realism (or fantasy) set in China! However, elements if this book seemed a bit rushed or unpolished.

This book had a really strong start! I loved the creepy imagery and the premise was fun. 

HOWEVER,
once we got into the tricker fantasy element I was still heavily invested but it lost a bit of steam for me.

Nothing here I didn’t know, but I am a 28 year old woman lol. 

I was pretty sheltered and naive as a kid, so this probably would have helped back then. I remember watching “Blue is the Warmest Color” since I was curious about w/w relationships, which this book pointed out, is not accurate lol.
