How to Find What You're Not Looking for by Veera Hiranandani

4.0

I might change this to 5 stars!! It was inCREDIBLE. The second pov was a little jarring at first- I don’t think I’ve ever read a book in second pov that wasn’t one of those choose your own adventure books I used to read way, way back in the day. But I loved how each issue was handled- how you see the trauma and internalized prejudice of the parents through Ariel’s perspective. I loved the poems, and the nuance of each character so thoughtfully shown. This would be a great way to teach my kids characterization. Definitely adding this to my recommended reads for my students!!
