A very interesting story about class divides and prejudice. I liked how the author transitioned the Hera from a 'human' privileged girl to discovering her shade identity. Oh the irony. Hera definitely struggles with the reality, but after realizing the truth, she is very resilient and strong. I don't like how Hera is 19 and the other mmcs are mid twenties +, that feels predatory to me, but whatever. I feel like Hera and the guys got together way too fast though. It was one scene where the guys did not really like her. I think more tension and angst is needed before they have sex.
