Secrets, Stereotypes & Messy Truths: A Review of "What We Did to Each Other" by Josuee Hernández

Some books walk softly and others punch you in the gut. What We Did to Each Other by Josuee Hernández falls somewhere in between—a coming-of-age novel that quietly unravels stereotypes, friendship, and identity until you’re left sitting with the weight of it all.

At first glance, it’s a story about fitting in. But dig deeper, and you’ll find a sharp commentary on the invisible rules society imposes—especially on people of color. Hernández tackles this head-on, showing how the need for belonging can lead us down morally murky roads. The result is a cast of characters who are messy, flawed, and incredibly real.
