First off holy shit. Bunny has the balls to do what so many people couldn’t do. Without her, Covey/Eleanor wouldn’t have done anything she did. The three kids, none of it.

Wow, the writing was so good like extremely good. The awareness of racial injustice and police brutality.

  Bryon becoming a father put it all together. And don’t get me started on Benny, I’m so glad she’s selling her art.

Can’t believe she was fruity, I mean I can but damn it was so cute.   I was also completely and utterly obsessed with the swimming aspect. Omg, I miss the water. The description of the ocean, wow just wow.
