There are so many amazing books coming out this year that you can and should read instead of this racist mess. If you really need to read 300+ pages of racism culminating in "wow maybe racism is bad" to realize racism is bad...well I don't know what to tell ya. 
 People of color (or POC-coded characters in this case) should not be included in stories just to serve as lessons for white (or white-coded) characters. People of color do not exist for the education of white people. Stop supporting this racist narrative. 
 For more info and specifics about how horrifyingly problematic this book is please read Shauna's review: http://b00kstorebabe.blogspot.com/201...
