So let me start by saying this is a very hard book to read. Like it is such a great book and I think it is very necessary book but it is like a punch in the gut every chapter. To talk about this book is to spoil it but let me just say that the book has trigger warnings in the front and I would ask you all to take them extremely seriously as this book is basically one long terrible tragedy heaped upon a young black woman. Read with care, please.
