4.5 stars for me. This is a solid middle grade book and I’m happy to say that I enjoyed this was so more than I originally assumed. I did cry towards the 25% mark and Genesis deserved so much & more. The real take on colorism & how the lighter you are, the more opportunities you have is genuinely concerning. Especially when viewed through the eyes of a 13 year old. The fact that she found her voice through the subtle nudging of Ms. Hill was heartwarming.
