Are You Sara? by S.C. Lalli

2.0

This book gives me the same views as Complicit by Winnie Li. Both feature Asian American female main characters who make some morally gray decisions. Similarly, both are quite boring. I wanted this book to be more, but it doesn’t dig deep about systemic injustice and white male privilege. The mystery component is lackluster, and I’m not convinced by the ending. It feels like a cop-out and a weak ending to a weak book. I did enjoy the Sarah Ellis PoV chapters because they have a distinct style and captured a teenager’s energy well.
