It’s hard not to think of this in conversation with Passing - in some ways, it feels like it could be an extended version, even though of course the details (and time period) are very different. 

And some unexpected trans representation! I would have been interested to see some exploration of passing in terms of gender v race

There was so much to unpack in this story. It was about a lot more than the blurb advertises. 

Ultimately, I was left wanting deeper excavation of many of the topics presented and characters. It felt strangely devoid of emotion. 

Not sure it would come to mind to recommend to others.

this was a very enlightening read with a lot of interesting characters and perspectives. this book is entirely third-person which i don’t often enjoy quite so much, but the author used it very well

i count “sexual content” as consensual acts, so that’s why i tag it as minor
