As a white woman, I found the perspective of a black woman fighting racial inequalities informative. She was trying, against the odds, to hold on to her past and fight for those don’t always have equal treatment due to skin color. On top of that, this story felt like a retelling of “Stepford Wives” with the all too perfect community.
Without giving anything away, I will have to say I was surprised and frustrated with the ending. I was also disappointed that one of the side couples was homosexual. Both of those things bring my rating down a star.
