Aside from that, it was a good book. Morrison wrote this in a way that really makes you understand different perspectives and how our suffering is never isolated. It was never truly clear who was narrating what part but as the story progressed it became easier to understand.
The relationship between Romen and Junior is still plaguing my mind and stopping me from fully appreciating the book for what it is. Maybe I'll reread it when I'm older and more experienced.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship

hard to review. the ending moved me and the gradual reveal of details was very effective. it didn’t have much plot though, or maybe it just felt like the stagnancy of the present overtook the plot occurring in restrospect.
