The story is straightforward and simple, the writing is solid and enjoyable. There is a feeling that as a white person reading this, I’m missing something, but that’s to be expected and the foreword explained some of it. I don’t know that on its own, this would be a five. However, it discusses race and gender and marriage and their intersectionality in such a way that this book will stick with me for years to come. It’s a glance into passing, which isn’t something we talk about or acknowledge much. It’s an intriguing book
