WHAT WE DID TO EACH OTHER is a dual-POV YA psychological thriller about the intoxicating, all-consuming power of whiteness and how far one brown Mexican American girl is willing to go to fall into its orbit.
WHAT WE DID TO EACH OTHER is at once a disturbing yet thought-provoking indictment of the effects of colorism in Latinx communities. Two Latinx teens-one who strives to pass as white at her new school to earn the popularity she's always desired, and one who settles into a stereotyped version of himself in exchange for being needed by his white peers—grapple with the power and privilege of whiteness until the costs of their actions put them on a dangerous collision course.
