I couldn't put this down! It's so compelling and dark and FUNNY. I loved how complicated Reshma was as a protagonist–how you can totally see where she's coming from, given her surroundings, but also how over the top she is, even for a Silicon Valley very competitive high school.
I also liked the way racism against Asian students specifically was addressed–not something I've seen much in YA fiction.
The whole meta-narrative schtick really worked for me, too–I could see it being a little too twee for some readers but I think a lot of teens especially like that kind of 4th wall breaking. (See: Deadpool's popularity.)
