Jade discusses the pop culture references, the aspects of coming of age, stepping into another's perspective, and the book's ability to explain systemic racism and oppression in an way that focuses on the personal story of a young black girl.
Jade explains why she would recommend this book to a friend, but also why it might not be on her favorites list.
