4.0

I loved this book from start to finish. This is an incredible exploration of transactional relationships between employee and employer, and the fine line between those. This can be exemplified through Alix's attempts to help Emira with no regard of how this would affect Emira. It also is a great book that gives an insight of what it means to be a grown up, seen through Emira's eyes and her struggle to find herself fully in the world. 

Furthermore, the book addresses nuances of race and privilege through the characters of Alix and Emira, and pulls the reader in so easily through it's accessible writing style and character descriptions that makes you the reader a bystander, watching their interactions like a fly on the fall.
