I'm not sure I've ever used the phrase, "A delight to read" about any book besides a kid's book, but for some reason it comes to mind after finishing this book.

Which doesn't really make sense, since this novel tackles a lot of serious issues. The issue of asking someone where they're from and not accepting, "Here," as an answer just because they're not white, or falling into a certain stereotype or career because of their skin color. There's also a lot of great stuff about trying to make it as writer, which honestly is what made me the most sympathetic and interested in the story.

But there's so much humor throughout, and Michele Serros definitely seems like someone I would like (but also be intimidated by). ( )
