Even though the message of this novel was inspiring, I found that it didn’t pick up until the last 100 pages. That’s not to say that the first 2/3s were bad, they would just get kind of boring with the slow pacing of the book.
Also, I feel like I didn’t get as much out of it as I could have. Alice and Marius played such a big part, and I really wish they had their own point of views.
Overall this was an eye opening read that taught me about the experience of someone who is not only a Black woman, but queer, plus sized, and struggling with mental illness.
Moderate: Biphobia
Minor: Alcohol and Vomit
