Another banger. I wish I had a book club to discuss this one with because there are so many layers of meaning and themes to discuss (what it means to be human and the nature of humanity, the value of purpose, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, biracial experience and what it means to be between two different worlds, the merit of saving people who don’t deserve compassion, free will, reproductive rights, belonging, family, and more). I enjoyed Akin’s perspective a lot too!
