The Other Side of Perfect

4/5 stars

Ahh this book was such a pleasant surprise. I absolutely loved it.

There was so many important conversations about race and stereotypes and unnormalizing racism and internalized sexism. And it was done so beautiful, in a way that I think some books strive to do but often miss the mark.

And the main character, Alina, was so consistent. I absolutely loved her. The way she acted and responsed to events that took place around her seemed so realistic for a 17-year-old girl trying to reevaluate her life.

I loved this and not enough people are talking about it. Highly recommend.
