Really enjoyed it! (Some slight thematic spoilers) An amazing way to expose how intergenerational trauma and domestic violence can impact someone well into their adult life until they can unpack it all! 
Also loved the way the friendships and support systems were explore through the cast of characters. 
And very concrete examples of how racism shifts someone’s daily life and existence as a whole. 
All wrapped in some intelligent humor and sarcasm 👌

a while ago i wrote a review on letterboxd for the movie A Fantastic Woman that said: "painful from my head to my toes. i'm still uncertain as to if i think cinema making you This uncomfortable is productive or not... we'll see"

i feel almost the same about this book. there is a lot of suffering, suffering i know happens in real life. we do get some development after all, and it ends on a hopeful note, but my stomach is still turning. don't know how to feel about it yet.
