A very interesting, engaging read once we really dived into the plot. Maya was an interesting character, but I sometimes found her hard to relate to and her internal monologues frustrating. I also found that much of the beginning dragged the story, and the slow build of the plot is mostly why it's not 5 stars for me. This book is thought-provoking, it's bold, and I think it tackles the issues in an insightful and sensitive way.
