okay so the writing style is not that bad but it's so annoying to read and there is no payoff, like just why the incest? Also when he knows she's his daughter and still doenst care it's just not it, also how often the n word is said and the racism is just ew, wouldn't recommend this book to anyone (I had to read it for school wouldnt have finished it otherwise)

I read this book for school which is to say I wasn't really motivated. The writing isn't special neither is the plot. It's a book you read through easily and then just forget about it. I don't see why this book qualifies as a classic.
Graphic: Misogyny and Racism
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Death, Grief, and Suicide

It's well written but I despise the main character. Also Hanna deserved better!
