As a someone who is biracial, the themes of racial identity really struck a chord with me. I loved how Bennett explored this theme, along with passing, familial and sisterly bonds, transitioning, and so many other important topics in such an engaging way. I would highly recommend the audiobook if interested, the narration was phenomenal.
