This period of 2020 was rough on all of us. There were a lot of opinions, emotions, snap judgements, and quick decisions made with the best information available to us at the time. In that way this story was very real and raw and relatable. Since this was a dual perspective story, I do not think the authors did a good job of giving Bee's family's perspective a fair representation. It was their side as told by people who disagree with their decisions without giving them a chance to share their very real and equally valid reasons. The portrayal of all the conservative and religious people as bigots and homophobes is just as bad as saying All Lives Matter in the face of a Black Lives Matter message.
This book was trying to do entirely too much and was so annoyingly didactic that I couldn’t bring myself to finish. Something about it felt like someone trying to stick it to their conservative boomer relatives and I just wasn’t a fan. Don’t be fooled, there are fantastic middle grade books that handle subjects like racism, homophobia, coming out, and all kinds of family drama, but this isn’t one of them.
Rabbit Rabbit was such a good book. Omg!!! I loved reading every single second of it. I totally recommend my followers to read this book as fast as they can.
