I suddenly remember how different I am from most of the kids here. Nobody would have to drag me or my brothers to the Bahamas—we’d swim there if we could. For us, a family vacation is staying at a local hotel with a swimming pool for a weekend.
whoop here it is, my first major complaint. i have nothing against the black-white juxtaposition and i think we need it in ya, but i am, not to sound repetitive, a hundred percent against painting everything black and white. of course, the people like these characters here exist, but if you want to address a major problem, you should work with a common case. the stereotypes crushed all together in one poor black girl will not look good. up until this point i quite liked Starr, but her deliberately hanging out with rich kids and then complaining about it just does not fly with me. it was her concsious decision, and i will not sypmathise with this kind of poor decision-making.
