There are a lot of important themes broken down in this book (socioeconomic class, race, women’s struggles in society, etc.), however the story was just okay in my opinion. The main “conflict” of the book took quite a while to introduce in that I had forgotten what was coming by the time it was planted. The book does a great job and portraying real life problems in our society and breaking down those important themes. I found the contrast between Izzy/Elena very interesting as well as the subplot of Lexie’s character development something that a lot of young women could really resonate with. I think overall, there was a solid plot and good character development, but I found myself bored at times and forgetting what I had read (the chapters are very long). 3.5 ⭐️
