Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

3.0

I really wanted to like this book, held out hope for a while. Such a fascinating premise and I love playing with myths and spirituality. But it felt a little trauma porny and then the spirituality of the book feels like it tried to be beacon for "black people everywhere" and I just wasn't on board... I don't know, hard to describe my problems with the book, just did not vibe.
