not sure how to feel about this book, a super complex piece of work about a very sensitive topic that i don't feel i am educated enough to speak too much about so i will pick my words carefully. it is a different take on the me too movement and while i appreciate the unique perspectives that the story is told from, i was left feeling confused about what exactly the author was trying to get across by doing this. her message seemed muddled, atleast to me and im not sure if this was how she intended it to be but yea i have very mixed feelings about this book and i don't mean to be rude but the majority of those feelings lean to a disagreeable side.
