Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.
In the sense that it explored race/identity it reminded me of The Hate U Give, but this focused also on our narrator, Jade, learning about who she was and how to feel comfortable in her skin.
A scholarship to a predominantly white school leads to our narrator feeling stuck in the middle. Too black for school; too white for home. When she’s signed up to participate in a mentoring program she starts a pretty tough process learning about what’s important to her.
Lots of questions raised about identity and the role race plays in our lives, and it was done in such a way that I think is pretty relatable on some level.
