This book was not an enjoyable read. It was a relatively quick short read so I finished it. It was a depressing read. It has so much unending trauma rape, incest, physical abuse, intellectual disability, physical abuse, racism, colourism, murder, homophobia and HIV/AIDS, homelessness . It was written in the style of an illiterate young woman who could not learn due to all the difficulties in her life but at the end of the book she is improving. This book reminded me of the fake book that Percival Everett wrote in Erasure, it’s just all focused on black pain and trauma. Do not recommend.
