I live in a country where there are not a lot of POC and to me, issues their communities face around the world are not tangible.
This book made me smile, cry, cheer on, and swear like a sailor. It has a very approachable way of such a heavy and disgusting subject and manages to paint an exquisite portrait of people, places, and culture.
I was afraid I missed the train because I read it only in the summer of 2022, but this will definitely become a classic.

The message and delivery was fantastic. Had me laughing as well as sick to my stomach. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fictional (but still very real) perspective, rather than reading non-fiction.
