[Review] Are You Nobody Too? by Tina Cane

This is a very character-driven novel-in-verse that explores the complexities of race, from the point of view of a Chinese girl adopted into a white family. I enjoyed the writing and found sections that completely drew me in. And I was particularly enamored with the life lessons that are tucked inside this book—many of which deeply resonated with me.

I will say that this is an introspective book. As such, there were some decidedly slow points. And the non-chronological storytelling, which mostly happened early in the book, felt a bit awkward and jarring. But overall, this is a very good book, told from a unique point of view.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released August 27, 2024.
