This book showed how it feels navigating white-dominated industries as a Black woman. Grace sees her hard work get dismissed bc of racial bias. I was frustrated with her and knew exactly where she was coming from.
Grace is healing her inner child. She’s financially dependent on her father, who is a hard ass and has a distant relationship with her mother, who is a free-spirit. The disconnect, unresolved feelings and pressure, aids in her loneliness
Overall, I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed compatibility of Yuki and Grace. Some of Yuki’s podcasts made me think about life. Grace’s actions did get annoying after a while, even though I understand where she’s coming from (most of the time). Other times, she was a bit immature.
There’s a lot of symbolism, deep thoughts, and darker themes, including systemic racism and mental health hardships, throughout the story. I’d keep that in mind if you decide to read it.
