Very engaged in the first part. Maybe character forward stories aren't for me.

Took me a while to understand the layout of the book. Think "Love, Rosie" where each scene jumps to a different event in her life. Pacing slows down and speeds up randomly, although I was never bored. I picked up this book to explore another WOC's life experience and enjoyed it because Nina and I share super different perspectives of ... well, everything. Reminds me to practice compassion and to accept opportunities because there's so much to learn from others and about the world.
