hereisenough 's review for:

It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura

DID NOT FINISH

I wanted to like this so bad, and I think I will when I go back to it. The protagonist is a queer Asian girl, and the love interest is Mexican, so hurray for diversity! However, I was quite exhausted and uncomfortable with the amount of racism and stereotyping these girls have to put up with. That's absolutely nothing against the book, and it's just my white privilege speaking, but when I have a Chinese born sister, it makes my heart hurt a whole lot more. This is one I definitely will return to- just not when I'm already stressed with finals. A good summer read. :)
