The prose is gorgeous. Bummer of a story. Should have a trigger warning for SA. Took a long time to get engaging. There’s not much of an overarching plot that is focused on. Mainly just about the main character struggles  that are emotional, mental, and physical. The statements made about blackness were insightful and relatable.
