Historical fiction set in the 1960s, immediately following the Loving v. Virginia court case that made interracial marriage legal. Twelve-year-old Ariel's beloved older sister, Leah, elopes with an Indian man, and is subsequently disowned by their parents. As Ariel frantically tries to find Leah, her parents' Jewish bakery, which has never had it easy in their majority-Christian town, begins to struggle financially. Hiranandani is incredibly good at dissecting prejudices between marginalized communities, as she did with the Hindu and Muslim populations of India in her Newbery-honor debut, The Night Diary, and this book is further proof of that: she gives great depth and complexity to her characters' bigotry, where a lesser author might take it at face value. I was a bit hung up by Hiranandani's choice to write in present tense and second person, but overall really enjoyed this read. — Nadja Tiktinsky
