So happy I finally got around to read this book, it was great and really heart-touching. I would’ve liked a different ending or
at least a little bit of update on Stella and Kennedy’s lives, not just Desiree and Jude’s lives. I would’ve also liked a little more confrontation and conversation when Stella goes back to Mallard, since it felt a little bit rushed and anticlimatic.
Overall great book, a great insight on race and identity without feeling academic or lecture-like. (Shoutout a @Coby por mi birthday gift).
