I really enjoyed this and it made me cry which I wasn’t expecting at all. I do have to say it’s not a full five stars because I felt the dialogue was a little odd and it didn’t flow. I did really like our main character and her relationship with the child she babysat(she was probably one of my favorite parts of the book). I think the topics about white feminism and fetishization was really well done. I also enjoyed her friend group and how they were all there for each other. Most of the characters in this are so annoying but that’s the point. I also didn’t really like the ending, but it makes sense for the character.
