This was definitely not for me. I could not have care less about these characters, their past, their presents, their stories, their problems. I simply did not care at all.
And I'd rather just DNF it than continue wasting my time for something that I know it won't get good, in my opinion.

5.0

this is genuinely one of the best books i have ever read. williams writes about love, sex, general trauma, race, passion for career, the hardships of both motherhood and teenage years, and so much more so impeccably well. there were several moments i had to physically set the book down to take a breath because i was so excited, and other moments where i had to force my eyes to stay on the sentence i was reading instead of skipping ahead to figure out what happens. she captured a stronger glimpse of the human experience than any author i’ve ever read. i’m left in awe of this book and would recommend it to anyone.
