 I think that some of the book could've been revised better in regards to race. However, those were just sour notes in the tune of the story. I still found it a delightful read with the same spirit as the new Apple TV show but they both have their own clear and distinct story lines. If you want a book where girls and women stay steadfast in their friendships to one another against the waves of the world and love.
