This book was strange and weird black girl coded in the best way. the writing is prolific and real and raw and explorative in a way that i have no come across in a long time. i was thoroughly entertained the entire time while being disturbed at the brute honesty of the main character. it was like watching a horrible train wreck and not being able to look away.
