Very disappointed with this book. It had a great premiss but the author was not gifted enough or open minded enough to make it work. She clearly does not understand racial nuances as every white person is stereotyped as arrogant, entitled and prejudiced, and every black person is a victim of white supremacy. If this is up your alley then go for it. Oh, and she threw in a transgender love story just to make it more saleable.
