Ask The Passengers by A.S. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a small barrage of ‘I love A.S. King’s books!’ filled up booktube, I decided to acquaint myself with this author on a well-informed whim. And here’s the verdict: I loved it.

I did get mad at this book, or rather at certain people in this book. It kinda made me realise sometimes I hate humanity. I don’t want to spend this book post ranting but, I’ll say two things. One. Equality is obvious – a la Astrid Jones. Two. Love has no limits.

Moving on, I found this book to be amazingly relatable. Even though I’m not in Astrid’s situation, I found her confusion relatable, and I found that she had a very relatable voice. I really liked how A.S. King wrote her, and I loved A.S. King’s writing because it felt so realistic.

I also loved the magical realism. YAY magical realism. I did think in other books it has been done better, but I liked the idea that Astrid was sending the passengers her love.
I really liked this book but I wasn’t running round the house shoving it into people’s hands saying ‘read it’ ‘read it’. I’ll definitely look into ‘Everybody sees the ants’ that one’s meant to be ‘the one’!
