I’m not even sure what to say about this. It was so confusing and disjointed that I wasn’t even sure what the book was about all the way. And, by the end, I was just left wondering why. I can appreciate the themes of tokenism, racism, micro aggressions, and self-reflection with regard to potentially self-sabotaging choices we make in our own lives, so I don’t have completely negative feelings about it. It just left me feeling unfulfilled. Oddly enough, though, I’d actually give this author another chance. She seems to be a good writer. This one just was…idek.
