See No Color by Shannon Gibney
4.0
It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of YA, unless it is Harry Potter or strongly influenced by Harry Potter. So when I landed on 4 stars for this book (technically 3.5 but I rounded up). This is an excellently written story of a transracial adoptee and a day in her life (or summer) as she works through her identity. It's a story that I haven't heard before and I'm honestly shocked this book isn't widespread and beloved.
My only gripe is that it seemed rush towards the end. It's a relatively short book and I feel like it could have benefitted from being 100 pages longer. As it is, it just kind of ends abruptly and leaves me wanting more time in Alex's head.
