Cons:

    • Big “Not Like Other Girls” energy from the heroine ;
    • Heavy lean on the “Magical Negro” trope;
    • Some of the worst poetry ever written ;
    • Imagine an interesting love-triangle/murder mystery. Take out what makes it interesting.

    Pros:

  • Your aunt probably loved it! Y’all can discuss it at holidays;
  • Technically a book.
