5.0

This was such a funny yet insightful book—I read it in one sitting! The book has a very unorthodox structure as all of the characters are part of a play called Black and White. It really resonated with me as a Chinese-American, but also displayed the effects of racism on people who weren’t Asian, such as black women. I loved Willis’ relationship with Karen and thought the characters were well-written.
