it felt like it was screaming at times, to the white readers, to "please like me." it felt like it was catered to white people, the constant explanation by the MC that she's just really a normal teenager, like she had to justify her mere existence to the reader as much as she did to the people in her school, it was annoying to read by someone like me who looks like her.
the writing was simple enough, nothing special, easy to read but extremely mediocre. it didn't really stand out to me.
the plot was extremely meh. I just didn't like it, and I feel like no much time was taken to show us the relationship between Shirin and Ocean. I couldn't really root for them at any point in time, and didn't care for them at all.
