Navigating that good enough to be something feeling of dread that comes with not feeling adequate for either side of yourself. Lucy Wu is an American Born Chinese child which makes her an American.

It took me a while to get into this book. Lucy is definitely a brat at the beginning and the rivalry between Lucy and Sloane doesn't feel dangerous until about halfway through the story.
