![]() But, if it is embraced, I think there are a lot of misconceptions in it that could be destructive to our society. If the book has only moderate success, then maybe crisis will be averted. I think the ideas in it are inflammatory and will unnecessarily pit good people against each other. I am just sorry that my review does not end up being more positive! įirst of all, many thanks to the Berkley Publishing Group for an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review. The point of my review is to help stop hate, hurt, and bias, so I do not want my review to contribute to that in any way.Ĭontroversial review time! Grab the popcorn and settle in. I am just trying to express my opinion as thoroughly as possible, and if you don't agree that is fine. At one point in my review I make a bold statement using the number 99%, after the response I have received from both sides, that number is probably more like 75% "That I missed the point", "The book did not say 'All' people of a certain group", "Don't you understand what the political climate is in America right now?", etc. If you have a criticism of my review, it most likely been discussed ad nauseum so I encourage you to look through the comments first. You may notice that this review has lots of comments. ![]() Goodreads is all about differing opinions and I embrace that. I do not go to the 5 star reviews and try to prove them wrong. I am glad many people had a better experience with it than I did. I am okay with all the 5 star reviews of this book. So, the fact that my review is only promoting negative behavior (in some cases) is sad to me. In fact, the point of my opinion is that discussions on this topic drives people apart and causes people to hate each other. That was 100% not my intention and I want it to stop. I have been unfriended and unfollowed by many. I have been told that I missed the point, I am dense, I have lost respect from people, I think I am better than others, etc. I have received negative feedback from both sides of my argument! That's right, I picked a hot button topic and managed to annoy people on both sides (that is pretty impressive). ![]() That is fine! All opinions welcome! I just don't want to fight about it because I have no desire to change anyone's opinion. But, this review simply shares my opinion on a topic I felt was key to the story. I know, I know, what did I expect sharing a controversial opinion on social media!? Yeah, I admit I guess I should have seen that coming. But, responses have become uncomfortable to the point I cringe when I open Goodreads. I knew that this would be controversial as it touches on a hot button topic.

And we're not just talking warm-weather getaways, either. So Vrbo's newly released list of the top vacation homes of the year is a go-to guide when I'm choosing the best rentals - and destinations - to have on my radar.įrom a desert oasis in Palm Springs to an oceanside paradise in Rosemary Beach, FL, there's no shortage of places to explore in 2023. When coordinating trips in the US and beyond, I always start with lodging: Do I want to stay in a hotel or rental? How close (or far) do I want to be from a major city? And what amenities are on my must-have list? I tend to gravitate more toward rentals than hotels so I can take advantage of the creature comforts associated with home, from a fully stocked kitchen to a private pool I can enjoy at any time.
