There was some interesting themes but I found everything over explained and predictable. There just wasn't enough development of either characters or plot.

I enjoyed the screenplay format and thought it was an interesting and inventive way to explore racism and issues surrounding the 'model minority'. However the characters weren't fleshed out enough for me (which I get is part of the trope) and it made it harder to really engage.

This book is a great accessible introduction to the impact fast fashion has and although I agree with everything the book addresses I found it quite repetitive and thought it could have benefitted from more facts and in depth case studies.
