I love how refreshing this book is. One thing I’ve noticed that I like is how Lilly comes to her own decisions by herself. Sure, she listens to other’s input, and (sometimes) takes into consideration the events going on around her, but at the end of the day, she does not let that sway her decision.
For example, when she starts to have feelings for Zach, he plainly tells her that it is “not okay” due to people’s feelings and beliefs. Yet, she doesn’t let that stop her from falling in love with him, even though she’s seen a handful of horrible things happen due to racism already.
I found it really refreshing to read a book that dealt with racism and featured a main character that was surrounded by racism, yet took great lengths to not let it affect her.
