Initial thoughts: Can’t stop thinking about the great biracial rep in Not the Girls You’re Looking For by Aminah Mae Safi.
This book encompasses the struggles of being caught between cultures so well — from not necessarily speaking a parent’s language but understanding more than relatives realise, to figuring out how deep one’s roots can go in more than one culture and still being seen as whole.
On the surface, Not the Girls You’re Looking For might seem like just another YA book about high school friendships and drama. There’s a whole lot more to it though, so I definitely recommend reading this one!
