- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Predictable with an overwhelming amount of issues for such a short read.I have very mixed feelings about this story. I liked how it started out but toward the end of the book it was quit predictable. In Crumble Sarah and her father George seem like they have a very loving and well bonded relationship. Having raised Sarah as a single parent soon after her birth, George seems like the perfect father. Sarah seems like a well-adjusted teen, she has a close-knit group of friends in school and even a boyfriend named David. However because Sarah is white and David black, Sarah keeps her relationship from her father and the small community.I had a few problems following along with this story. To begin with I didn’t understand why Sarah seemed so obsessed about keeping the secret of dating David from her father, when the author does not disclose any conversations or even hint George having ever spoken to Sarah about being a racist.. There was so much going on in this story in such a short amount of time that you really didn’t get a complete feel for the characters. I also did not care for the ending, George seemed to disappear into never land and the Alex just didn’t feel like a real character to me. Alex’s feelings felt fractured and confusing and it didn’t make sense to me why his anger was directed at David when instead it should have been directed at the bully who was beating him up at school and his abusive father. Also the school administration seemed non-existent during these times when Alex was dealing with the abuse, coming to school bruised and swollen. Maybe its must me but I feel this story is just not one I would recommend worth reading.

I have to admit, this was an awesome book! It was short, but the characters were so well developed that it was so hard to not be emotionally invested in this book. The subject matter was tough though, which of us wants to believe that people still live their lives in such an ignorant manner, it’s something we all try to overlook to some degree, but there are entire nations who decide to live their lives in this way. The end was totally unexpected and so devastating to see the havoc hate can create for us all.
A totally eye-opening book and I would totally recommend this to be on anyone’s to-read list – hate is dangerous to us all and this author was able to bring that point across. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received a copy of Crumble by Fleur Philips in exchange for an honest review.
