This very much gave me 'The Ugly Truth' meets 'Gossip Girl' vibes with natural discussions regarding the race in an easy to digest YA setting. I very much related to Quinn in regards to her personality quirk of having to make a list for literally everything, as well as her experience struggling with her identity after being the minority/other/exception for so long.
