4.0

This was such a great book and would work really well for a teenager or young adult who’s looking to learn more about feminism, intersectionality, racism and gender identity. There are some great discussions about intersectionality in particular, and I loved that it’s written from the perspective of a character who is learning about these things as the book progresses. 

There were a few instances where perhaps some more editing might’ve helped (e.g., I’m not sure the timeline always worked out) but it didn’t get in the way of enjoying the book.
