I picked this book last easter needing a soppy teenage novel to fill the days instead (thankfully)i gained a book that will never leave me. Funny, emotive, with a believable protagonist who does what we all do one time or another in our lives,learn something new about herself and enviorment. She experiences love, dilemas, desires and learns the truth. I would recommend this book to anyone, you don't have to be of a particular race to enjoy and understand the book, as may be suggested due to the cover, 'Born Confused' deals with universal themes, so all you have to do is love a good story because that is what you will get:)
