I didn’t want this book to end which is weird because a lot of the time I’m ready for the book to end. I found it so interesting and was so invested in each of the characters. I wish the twins and the daughters all met up but I suppose that yearning is what the author wants you to feel and in reality they all wouldn’t meet. I also wanted Blake to find out about Stella’s real race and all their rich white friends. Such an interesting concept and I am so happy I found it in a random second hand book shop otherwise I would have never known about it. Only didn’t give it 5 stars as sometimes I was confused who they were talking about as it was written in 3rd person and sometimes it jumped around a little too much but that’s literally the only reason.
