Racism, classism, white supremacy, eugenics. What more could you want from a story? *cringe* You ever read a book that was written really well but the topic was so horrible that you don’t know how to rate it? Yeah. That’s this book.

There are some cute queer storylines along the way. This part isn’t super painful, more just realistic like being unsure if parents will be accepting.

So descriptive. So real. I almost feel like I knew the characters. I could feel what they were feeling. I have definitely been convinced to read Elliot’s next book. 

So many of the topics in the book could have been written so poorly, but they were done beautifully. 5 stars. Loved this story. 

Tons of representation: bi, Latina, non-binary, sex worker, genderfluid, trans

This book was beautifully written and I loved getting the different multigenerational intertwining  perspectives. 

Sadly though, this book was hard for me to read. Not the content, but I had a hard to continuing to read. Parts of this book were quite engaging. Other parts, not so much.

This was quite the story. The writing is so great that I felt like I was right there with the characters. I have so much I want to say, but I'd be walking into spoiler territory. Anyway, definitely read this story.

Wow. What a book. I love it. Very cute story about Nishat. Her little love story is so cuuuuute. Love how Nishat is so close with her sister. I also like the way this book shows appropriation and racism in every day life. I think that’s a great thing to show our teens so they understand the implications of their actions.

Note, I do wish the deadnaming in Chapter 33 could be fixed for future prints of this book. For now, I scribbled it out and fixed the name.
