Hannah, Shola, Dami, and Segun's struggles with self-identity and race are well-highlighted in the book. Their stories depict the typical struggles faced by Africans and people of African descent on a daily basis.

While I enjoyed the love story between Lawrence and Hannah, I expected more passion, explicit sex scenes, and plot twists that would have kept me on the edge of my seat. Instead, I found the romance to be rather flat and typical of young adult fiction.
