Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
4.0

I was so confused when I started this. Everything seemed muddled and I had to keep coming and seeing what people were saying because I felt like I wasn't understanding. I'm walking away from this knowing I don't completely understand but what I do understand, is beautiful and painful and chilling. The trauma is examined in a way that felt hazy but it hurts and it feels real.
