Overall enjoyed this sequel to Black Girl Unlimited. But there were parts of the book that would be a little confusing with the transitions of one point in time to another with the page breaks and it bouncing back to the first point in time. 
Echo was a great character in both books and loved seeing her continued growth and how she manuevors through and with interpersonal relationships. Also, once again, has great discussions on race, especially on predom white colleges, and the importance of trauma healing.
It is magical realism which can be a little tough to read.

It’s going to take a bit to process this one. I’m not sure I fully understand it, but it was a ride, and I felt a lot of feelings.
