I laughed a lot and cringed a lot. Possibly more r-slurs here than in her first book, and the same talk of “Inj*ns”. Plus anti Blackness. This book was more emotional and harrowing than the first. Delonda gets up off the couch, but not without consequence. Yes the book was hilarious. Zippy’s narration actually reminds me somewhat of Lemony Snicket. Saying the most unintentionally hilarious things with such deadpan delivery. Meanwhile, my heart breaks for the women in this book. If you want to laugh and cry and can suffer through good old fashioned Indiana bigotry, this is the book for you.
