Very sharp. Some beautiful metaphors (the moon and anything space-related always get me). Tearing the reader's heart apart.

annemaries_shelves's review against another edition
4.5
I loved how she tackled the themes of girlhood and womanhood, experiences of being a refugee and immigrant, grief, trauma, celebrations of life, death, family, and more. Each of the four sections offered something unique to the stories she was telling.
There are some really heavy subjects/topics and references in this collection, so be aware.
CW: FGM and gender violence, child abuse and death, rape, death, eating disorders, famine, war and racism, and others.
Moderate: Body shaming, Cancer, Child abuse, Child death, Death, Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Racism, Rape, Sexism, Violence, Grief, and War
