I thought this book was really interesting! Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to read too many books on race that aren't focused on African Americans (but those books are still really important to read as well!), so this was a really unique experience for me. Raj was painfully human. He made a lot of mistakes, particularly when talking to the African American couple at the tennis club, but his frustrations for his own discrimination were so clear that you had to feel for him despite his less desirable behaviors. In my opinion, this was a very character-driven novel, so your enjoyment really hinges on your ability to emphasize with Raj. Also, the cover is so pretty! It relates to the book so well, and the blue tones really make it stand out on a shelf.
