***kind of spoiler near the end*** 

I kind of fell in love with this book. It’s raw. It brings up aspects of motherhood, growing up in our own skin, different levels of freedom and liberation but also trauma and pain, it was refreshing. I did not expect it to make me think as much as it. I feel it has given me a new perspective among liberation and “freedom” while also relating to Liberties feelings of moving from “home” to her new home, yet having to go back to Kings county to live with her mom. Some themes in the book include: War, Racial injustices, colorism, ethnic racism, motherhood, freedom, historical contexts, sex, imagery.
