I love this book, it is so good. You want to hate the lead character for passin herself off as white but you can't. It really wasn't even her idea to pass as white. She got herself into a situation that was just too complicated to get herself out of without really messing her life up. I love how she never really told people that she was white, they just assumed she was and left it at that. Before she started passin' she had no trouble letting folks know that she was black, her momma, daddy, and whole family was black. If you have a chance to read this book, please do its the right amount of drama, comedy, romance, and insight into what people think divides us racially.
