This book is very characterbased exploring the choices of two twins who escape the small colourist town. 
The Book structure flips from present to past and between characters, so if you enjoy a nonlinea  structure you will appreciate this. 
I enjoyed how we were made to care about some chatacters strongly just within one chapter.
The Book explores freedom, performing and passing, family and choices. It also includes transman representation, which i fekt was authentic and positive. Although colourists is explored, it is not the main focus it is much  more about the characters and their individual situations.

This was such a great read, I can hardly put my review into words. Bennett has such beautiful imagery and colorful writing that paired with an enamoring plot, makes the perfect stand-alone novel. The commentary on racism, colorism, + misogynoir in this book is complex yet delivered so eloquently. Run don’t walk to pick this up if you haven’t read it yet!
