This book is just a young adult novel trying to be an adult novel. The author makes sure to let you know that this woman's life is way worse than any other person in the world including the black people living in this real 1930s town. She specifically states it in multiple parts of the book. The author also went out of her way to call the main character the N-word in this novel instead of finding a different slur. The ending comes out of no-where and the attitudes of characters shift with no rhyme or reason. I absolutely hated this book and wouldn't not recommend to anyone.
