This book was SO interesting to read and not at all what I was expecting. So many moments where I felt actually uncomfortable with the actions taken by each character. I think this book featured really strong commentary on race, class, and white allyship. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year.
Moderate: Racism, Classism, Cursing, and Toxic relationship
