i love this book, but we need to talk about how this author handled discussions of race. it felt like she was capitalizing on the fact she had a black

I don’t want the conversation to be “white people can’t write poc” but rather “white people shouldn’t write poc if they arent going to TRY”

I really do think she wrote the queer stories really well but when race came in, it became less nuanced

Monique was handled so poorly. She might as well of been a white woman cause she was written like one.

No because the second I read that “biracial” line immediately I went “a white woman wrote this”

that line about being birracial was so bad😭 it felt like she only made the character birracial bc she wanted to be woke and "have representation"+

The comparison of race and sexuality was so bizarre coming from a white person. Just clearly NO understanding of race or nuance. So uncomfy.
