This book balanced humour and hope with a dark, reflective subject matter. I loved main character, Emira, and constantly rooted for her. The two side characters of Kelley and Alix are so important in the sense that you definitely know people like them and maybe you are a little bit them, but they infuriate you and disappoint you. It discusses race and privilege in such a nuanced and personal story that felt so relatable and connected.
