I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Justina Chen Headley--I haven't read it, but I read her first book (Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies)) & liked it, but w/reservations (it was a little high on the "OMG hapa girls are so beautiful! You're so lucky!" creep-factor--I can appreciate that she wrote the story thinking of her own mixed daughter, but still...).
