Such a fascinating premise for a setting and for a storyline of a book. I knew that colorism existed, even among Black folx, but never thought about how far a group of people could take it. The main characters are all so different and yet so glaringly similar, even if they refuse to see it. The secrets we carry as daughters, sisters, mothers are complex and  many.

Love how the story is organized into chunks diving deeper on specific characters and their pain.

This book is a great representation of black lives in rural white areas. It talks about racial difference and sisterhood in the most beautiful way ever. A diverse cast of characters including a trans character makes this all the more enjoyable. It is a must read to empathize with the minority community.
