Status Updates From The Puzzling Fate of Millic...

Also, why does every mixed-race couple have kids who are either black or white? It happens, but it's FAR more common to have all the kids be a mix of their parents' complexions. Is this set in some Giver-esque alternate reality where married couples don't have sex and children are randomly assigned? Again, fun plot, but the author's failure to grasp basic genetics is REALLY distracting.

The premise is fun enough to keep me reading, but I hate how Millie is being treated like the wet blanket who needs to learn a lesson about meddling in other people's lives when she's the only one in her family with common sense. PSA to parents: Your sense of personal fulfillment is not more important than keeping your families financially afloat.
