Jay is shy, feels invisible, and questions whether they are a boy or a girl. Jay feels like a nobody and struggles with friendships. Beah, on the otherhand, knows what she wants and is a force to be reckoned with. Beah is all about Double Dutch street skipping. Jay's friendship with Beah is a game changer for Jay, but Jay and Beah still need to understand themselves.
Jay is trying to understand themselves and how they fit into the world. Jay's insecurities can resonate with middle school readers. Sometimes the text is difficult to read because it gets super small in places. I'm not sure if Jay and Beah are just friends or are becoming something more. Beah is black and Jay is nonbinary white.
