Wow, when heading into this book I thought it was going to be a weird mystery for some reason. Boy was I wrong, but yet i'm glad it wasn't. I'm kind of lost for words with this book(for me is a good thing!). Very fast read though, and for her first novel I think she killed it! This book felt like a A24 movie and I love that feel, it was weird and strange but leaves you thinking. If you are looking for a book with a big plot this is not going to be for you, the book took on some social commentary for poor, Black, woman in the south. It almost feels a little like black mirror! Can't wait to see whats coming next for Monica Brashears!
