I had a hard time putting this book down! Yvonne's voice is so strong, and I really felt for her senior year struggles. I appreciated that she didn't have a clear path toward figuring out what she wants to do after high school, and I loved her self-awareness of both her privileges (as a relatively well-off teen getting a good private school education) and her disadvantages (as a black teen girl at a mostly white institution). I was just rooting for her so hard the whole time!

It's also sex positive and pro-choice!

Also it made me real hungry! Why isn't MY dad a gourmet chef! (I guess it wouldn't do me much good at this point in my life BUT STILL)
