I had a hard time loving Sneha, she makes a lot of pointed and ignorant comments and actions as she grows and the first 30% of the book struggled to capture my attention. There's internalized racism, homophobia, and classism here that Sneha can only face when she herself is directly impacted. It's strange to watch these people of color fall into white relationships while continuously throwing jabs at each other about "becoming white". The two black characters, Tig and KJ, felt like vehicles to move plot and character development along rather than complex individuals.

I liked watching Sneha grow as individual, but there were too many points where the book didn't sit right with me, even if we're supposed to be watching her growth through her own ignorance and challenges
