A timely novel on class, racism and relationships. I could not look away although at times I wanted to. It is well written and a compelling tale. I liked the ‘neighbourhood’ commentary and perspective on the characters. I think this book will stay with me for some time.

TW: Rape, suicide, incest, pedophilia, sexual assault, racial slurs 

I had purchased this book randomly for my sister a while back from a used bookstore and she read it, and then recommended that I read it. Honestly, had I known how the book would go, I probably never would’ve recommended someone read it. I was talking about how I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this book (while reading it) to many people because of the content, specifically the pedophilia.

While I am not comfortable recommending this book to people, due to the content, except for someone I am extremely close with (due to potential triggers)-, I would say this was a fantastic read-without being overly enthusiastic about the topics- the book was well written and touched on so many topics that are so prevalent in our current society. Between bigotry, sexism, racism, and our environment, this book is spot on and extremely eye opening.  

4/5 stars from myself

The author of this  book  comes  across as a privileged, straight white woman who thinks she’s heroically doing something good for black people by writing this story.
