I loved this book so much!!! Such an incredible writing style!!! ✨✨✨✨ I loved the characters and how realistic they were.

The only reason why this is not a 5 star book is that it felt a little dragged.

Here is a touching story of the two very different lives experienced by twins sisters, and yet another facet of racism's harmful effects.
If you enjoyed this, you may like Nella Larsen's two short novels Quicksand and Passing, often found together in one book.
