challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

This was INCREDIBLY well done, but I definitely need to reread it.

It was so informative, especially since this was set over such a long period of time.

informative reflective fast-paced

Not bad. feels very fast paced, even for a book with such a wide span. I wish she would have gone back more in the conclusion and specifically laid out a more cohesive argument.

I need to read this again, tbh.
