4.5 stars 
 This book is definitely a very remarkable one 
 1- Wing the MC is Chinese-African American and this made me excited to read about someone who I'm completely different from, It's enjoyable to be in someone else's head and to know the things you won't probably face. 
 The whole thing of accepting her identity was very informative partly because it's set in 1995 so Wing always gets racist comments on how she looks & how different she is but the book shows how by the time she gets over these comments and how she accepts herself & her difference. 
 Also, she was talking about something and she said "But all the models are white" which is something I want everyone who says that representation doesn't matter to think about. 
 It's important for teens to feel represented, to feel like their identities are accepted ( I wish I can see more Hijabis and plus-sized reporters on tv one day). 
 2- Her grandmothers are the coolest this ever 
 Her grandmothers, LaoLao (her Chinese one) and Granny Dee (she originally comes from Ghana), added so much humor and spirit to the book, from their fights to the little snippets of their different cultures it was so much fun to see them be there for Wing and Marcus (Wing's brother) 
 3- the hint of magical realism is very enjoyable & surprising. 
 Wing had a dragon and a lion waking her up to run and being by her side in the which is very cute ( I wished I had an animal by my side like this all the time) 
 4- Sometimes we have to deal with the consequences of someone else's mistake 
 Marcus did this terrible thing and now Wing has to deal with it and we see how the thing affects her family, her life, and even her self-independence and there's a thing in a lot of books that draw my intention: How the acts of the MC affects them only and we don't get to see this in books how it affects the people around them, So it was very refreshing to see this finally. 
 5- how Wing discovered herself through running 
 Wing lived her life being Marcus' little sister and when she started running she started having new friends, started trusting her self.....etc She started to be Wing just Wing not Marcus' little sister & it's amazing to see a girl who plays a sport and that's is not being something in the back but it's something which vividly plays a rule in her life. 
 I'll mention another reason but If you haven't read this book I prefer if you let it surprise you 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 6- Her relationship with Aaron was the cutest thing ever and I was rooting for them very hard and wanted them to be together all the time & I appreciate how Aaron helped her run better and went with her on her runs. (My heart was happy when he calls her Wing-a-ring-ling) 
 I really appreciated Wing when she asked Aaron to leave her a little bit so can she focus on this competition (It's very empowering to see a character who puts her ambition first) 
 (hide spoiler)] 
 so, in conclusion, I really liked the book but I thought that the ending was missing something like I wanted to know more 
 What will happen to them? How will they deal with all the things in their life? (view spoiler)[ Will Marcus go to jail? (hide spoiler)] 
 But I highly recommend reading this book because as I said it's definitely a different experience.
