The book was ok. I think the authors were trying to put across an agenda. They needed to say something and they did, except it felt scripted. I was interested first that it was set in Philadelphia. Where I am from. I liked it was about two friends one black, one white. Jen seemed to not have a very good home life so she spent most of the time over at Riley's. And stem from that she got to know Riley's grandmother. I believe Gigi was trying to teach Jen something. Although as time goes by the friends drift. Jen marries Kevin who becomes a cop. And Riley a journalist. 
Two different worlds, spread far apart.
It's not until Riley is older that she realizes what her full self means. As Jen is in that Blue world.
I don't think Jen really had any idea what Riley went through or her family. Not until it was too late.

I'm not sure if the authors wanted to just concentrate on the friends aspect, or dive into what being one's self is.
I believe nothing really isn't going to change. This was just a hard look at what one author is feeling against the other side.

I'm glad I read it. I have some highlights that I thought interesting but it's a 3 for me
