There are no good models of white ally-ship, and the title is stronger for this fact. In the same vein, the diversity of this title also makes it shine: sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, race, and ethnicity are all portrayed in Oshiro's inner-city Oakland setting."[1]
Kirkus called it "[a] masterful debut rich with intersectional nuance and grass-roots clarity."[2]
