read for tbr jar picks my reads vlog: coming soon
this book was a quick and easy read for me. i appreciated the commentary, particularly the subtle nuances of code-switching which were very relatable. the exploration of navigating a white workplace as a black woman, including figuring out if another black woman in the office is an ally or not, was well done. despite these strong points, i found the overall story underwhelming. the plot felt long and drawn out, and the quick resolution in the last 10% of the book left me disappointed. and i hated the plot twist. i'm really grappling with having a 3.5-star time for 90% of the book and then a 1-star time in the last bit. my rating for this one was extremely hard.
