There are bits of this book that are really lovely. In ways it's a quintessential "feel good" story, even the bits that are sad. But I found myself uncomfortable with the way a lot of the Black characters were portrayed — all of the characters are archetypes and a little flat, but that reads really differently with the Black characters in a book so thematically interested in racism.
