This was such an interesting read with compelling characters, my main let down was the ending wasn't enough for me. I could have easily read another 200+ pages! I still have so many unanswered questions! But I understand with this type of philosophical story there can't ever really be a satisfying ending.
I found the topic of colorism/racism and being biracial intriguing. Cultural identity vs ethnic. The theme of 'passing.' It had many confronting themes, some I related too, others that helped further expand my world view.
This was overall a complicated story, I felt like the author did the complexity justice. The writing style flowed easily, and I loved every second of reading it.

Este libro podría haberse convertido en mi favorito, sino hubiera sido por el final y las últimas 70 páginas o así. Me ha dejado un poco con indiferencia, como si lo hubiera leído pero no hubiera sacado nada de ello al no haber mucho cambio.
