This is a book that changed my life.
This is a book I was buying for people before I finished.
AND, this book is heavy. (A lot of trigger warnings.)

I just felt like the narrator was a bit on a high horse about being connected to everyone in this culture that wasn’t his own. I guess it felt a bit too white savior? The story was ok but representation in this book was just off.
