Things I liked: Trish’s omnipotent narration, commentary on systemic racism and the prison industrial complex, the love between Fonny and Trish, the support her family provides, and so much more.
Things I didn’t like: the somewhat ambiguous ending, I was hoping for something more concrete; and I think that’s it lol

If you’re looking for a beautifully melancholy, yet even hopeful of a story, this is it.
