It’s a very well written book and I do genuinely recommend it with all my heart. However, it is not void of flaws. I strongly recommend seeking out some opinions from POC (especially Latinx and Black POC) about this book and how it talks about race before reading it.

I found this book very beautiful, one of my new favorites. I read it all in a few hours because I found myself so on the edge of my seat that i was not able to put it down for long. Truly an amazing book.
