*3.5 stars
(triggers at the end)

this went by so quickly, i feel like there was a portion in the middle i don't remember? like where was i when everything was going down? because i do not remember them, that's for sure :(

anyways, i feel like this was still a really solid read, all in all! i could understand what yvonne's responses and reactions were all about, even if they were irrational at times; they were not for her, and if i think in her shoes, i can see why she made them. the plotpoint spoken about in the descriptions end doesn't come into play until the like last third of the book? but it was still interesting, even if i feel like there could've been more to unpack there.

good shit, miss brandy, good shit.
