Juliet was a fantastic MC. I adored her relationships with her brother, Lil'Melvin, and cousin, Ava, and loved how she was so curious to learn about herself and her communities. I would have liked more of her romance with Kira as she was such a good character. Most of the other characters annoyed me, with Harlow being unbearable from the start. 

I loved the writing style though. There were so many funny moments along with some really important messages. Will definitely read more from Rivera.
