I was blown away by this book. I read it because it was available immediately as an ebook and I like to always have one on my phone, and I'm so glad I found it. The dynamic between Riley and Jen was incredible and everything felt real. A lot of the discussions between Riley and Jen and Jen's perceptions of race as a white woman really struck me and definitely gave me something to think about. Really a great read - I'm not often a fan of multiple POVs, but it was used so well in this book.
