I really wanted to love this book since I've enjoyed other books by Octavia Butler & because of the underlying themes connecting to racism & gender - especially on the intersection of the two as the main character is a young black woman. But I struggled to get through this book. The writing never fully captured me and I never felt any time of connection or fondness of the characters.

THAT. ENDING. Wow. I enjoyed the book and couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened next!
