winterdream1999's review

challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.75

This book was a lot to take in and really helps put a lot of current day issues into perspective. There were so many things discussed such as microagressions and the trauma of sexual assault survivors, especially for women of colour. There were definitely moments were I was very disgusted, but it was necessary to really get a glimpse of what was happening. Overall, it was a tragically beautiful book.

jadenebean's review against another edition

emotional reflective slow-paced

4.0

This audiobook gave me lots to reflect upon about my years at post secondary institutions in Ontario. While I didn’t find the audiobook to be particularly gripping, it was a short listen and I finished it quite quickly. I love that it was read by the author. The relationships, including the slow demise of the friendship with her best friend and her strained relationship with her father, were hard to hear about. Eternity’s perspective as a Black woman in Canada is a very important one and one that everyone should take the time to learn about and consider.
