Things I enjoyed:
That the focus on Quinn's flaws as a person was treated with care; her conflict with her identity and not being Black enough was so careful and beautifully developed through her relationship with her father, her mother, and her gaining the confidence to speak out about the things her former friend said that hurt her deeply. I enjoyed that a lot.
I liked her developing friendship with Livvy so much, and I was smiling at a lot of bits where Livvy saw Carter and Quinn getting physically closer. She's the best wingman, by the way.
