I was lucky to read an ARC of this book before its release.
I liked the way it was written where the two main characters were narrating as if they were talking to the other. I also did appreciate the ideas presented about how race, class, and gender can all affect who is allowed to reach success.
This book is only three stars because I found the characters kind unlikeable (except Blue). I also found that some paragraphs were needlessly wordy and a little listy.
Overall this book was fine. Its rather serious - I think I assumed it would be a little humorous based on the graphic book cover, but that was my assumption that did not prove to be true.
