oh, this. this was good. i wasn't super on board with the book at first because the whole White Woman feminism but being that the author of the book is Not White and the rest of the elements of the story were interesting to read about i kept going, and i'm glad i did. the book really ties itself together towards the end, that scene where

juliet is at a queer dance party and she gets an impulse haircut..... the EMOTIONS

. the analysis of feminism and what it means to each character was incredibly interesting to read about, and the relationship between juliet and harlowe was a real eye-opener for me. all-in-all definitely a book i'd recommend reading, with a fantastic grasp of the subjects it deals with that allows for a chance to really reflect on how race and feminism intersect.

Oh. My. God. My heart. I’ll be honest, I got this book on a whim because I knew it was queer and it was on sale in the kindle store. I am so glad. This book dove into race and identity in a way that is so simple to understand and almost just seems like, duh. I am a white person who obviously benefits everyday from white privilege. This book was a great example of how to educate myself without having to ask the people of color in my life to do the work for me. Everyone should read this book. There are romantic aspects of this book, but it is not the romance story I had expected. 
I will say, there are a few plot points that just kind of.. disappear? But honestly the book is so good I don’t even care. Amazing, wonderful, will be reading again.
