pickAuthor and Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley looks at both the development of the Civil Rights movement in America and the weird world of DC comics continuity through the eyes of some of DC‘s Black, Asian, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ heroes.
By writing masterfully from the viewpoints of 6 different characters (nailing their individual voices) from the 1970s to 2010, Ridley deepens the DCU in gripping and thoughtful ways.
pickWang explores many topics from friendship and strict parents to childhood illness and not being seen as Chinese enough or American enough. I really enjoyed exploring these topics through Christine's struggles as she navigates self expression, academics, friendship, and family to find where she belongs.

pickThe only reason I didn‘t finish this in one sitting is because I had appointments this morning. There‘s something remarkable about how the book tells you what it‘s doing the whole time, and yet it never feels didactic or too clever. Really liked it.
