Admission

I was looking forward to this because I really like this Authors writing & the fact that its usually pretty clean. But as the plot unraveled and I kept waiting for it to resolve and get better, it doesnt. The best friend ditched her when she needed a friend. All because shes white, rich & privileged. And every person of color in the book is automatically a victim. This book feeds racist ideologies by not allowing either person to practice empathy for the other, they part ways because being white and rich is unforgivable. It doesnt matter that she learned what she can do to be more aware. The friendship never heals. And the best friend of color stays angry, bitter, & unforgiving for something that the protagonist had no control over. How is this helpful?! It perpetuates the idea that we cant have common ground and find commonalities for building relationships all because of our socio-economic and/or racial status. And therefore, we must be separate, but equal. This ideology sets us back like 100 years. I kept listening hoping for a resolution (because why else do we listen to fiction?!) but, nope. The only character who gets a happy resolution is the older brother who gets his 1 year sobriety chip at the end. Super disappointed. Will be asking for a refund.
