I thought the depiction of being mixed-race and rejected by both was very well done, and the writing is quite good in this. There's just such a thread of misery and self-pity throughout that I had a hard time with it. Never does anyone move towards or choose joy, connection, or happiness - and the one time I can think of that someone does, they are soundly punished. Just... a bit one-note.
