3.0

This book was just not for me personally and so perhaps one of the reasons why I had such a middle-rating review. However, it did touch on a lot of important themes surrounding race in America and the extent white women go to to appear as an ally when it is just a blatant expression of white saviourism and I liked reading about that dynamic between the characters. 

Overall though, I had much higher expectations from the plot (perhaps influenced by bookstagram) and so just felt a little let down.
