It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura
3.0

this book was a ROLLERCOASTER please stop playing so much with my emotions

Okay, first of all— the love story between Sana and Jamie. THE POWTRY. IM NOT OVER THE POETRY I MEAN I CRY BECAUSE OF THAT. it felt genuine and actually teenager-like, and not how teenagers relationships are portrayed in other books.

There were good characters, good storylines, I laughed, stressed the hell out, got upset, cringed and angry with the things that happened in the book. It was really easy to connect with the characters.

The main thing about this book is racism towards asian people and the black—latinex community. At the beginning I was kind of done with all of that, but seeing how it was handled trough the book, experiencing the racism to our character but also herself having racism behaviors and realizing how wrong she was is something that I felt it was treated in a really good way.

I definitely would recommend it, but not to everyone. Besides that I personally liked it a lot and it’s one of my liked Pride Month reads
