“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place and circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.” - Ancient Chinese Proverb

This quote is written at the beginning of the book. And, for me, sums it up completely. It’s a giant cliche, and I’m kinda tired of it.

Sure, the story is fine and full of people saving other people. But I’m just kinda tired of the rich white person saving the poor black kid. And even though she writes fairly often, “he saved me”, I just don’t care. This storyline - this very visible thread - has run its course. I mean, are there no rich black people helping little white kids?!?

The story was fine, and I’m happy for them both. But the stereotypes are affirmed, the script old, and really, it just isn’t worth reading. Because you already have, hundreds and hundreds of times.
