This Side of Home was complex and wonderful and difficult and so, so beautiful. Maya and Nikki are identical twins working towards high school graduation, but issues like gentrification of their neighborhood, cultural tensions at school and interracial dating blur all of the lines between black and white, right and wrong. It made me laugh, made me tear up, and made me think – the trifecta, as far as I'm concerned. 😍 #ireadya #youngadult #bookreview
