This book did a really good job showing what it's like to try and defy the beauty standard. I saw a lot of the feelings that I feel when I don't wax or shave and the feeling of wanting to continue fitting the beauty standard because it makes your life a little bit easier.
I think Chandani and TJ's relationship was very nice to see and I'm glad in the end that they stuck together because C knows firsthand what it's like to feel pressure to be beautiful.
There was also a lot of representation in this book and it was refreshing that what made them a minority wasn't their whole personality and it was just one piece of the intricate puzzle that is their personality.
