coralie_michon's review against another edition
4.5
this book was truly impactful. it was complex and raw. it examined many important and hard themes in such an intense and personal way. this book was so realistic, the writing was beautiful and engaging. the characters were imperfect and authentic and so endearing. i just wish we could’ve seen a little more of their past to understand more their behaviours (also kinda wish audre was acting more of her age sometimes i couldn’t understand how she wasn’t 16?!?).

I loved it. So unforced in its Blackness and so lovely and genuine. I need Shane 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Eva and her fight to just know how to be in herself and how to live in this world that sometimes refused her the dreams she had and… I loved her so much. I want her to be my friend 🥹
