Oyinda's Reviews > The Taking of Jake Livingston

HMM SO THIS BOOK. it's great on paper tbh. queer black boy in a predominantly white institution, dealing with racism and microagressions. he's also seeing ghosts and is being haunted by the ghost of a white school shooter who wants to possess his body.

I couldn't bring myself to love the book/plot/characters. even the romance in the book is so meh to me (instalove). the book spends a lot of time on the ghost/mystery aspect of things and the romance doesn't feel fleshed out.
