So so so a must-read. I really felt immersed in this one, and it is such a necessary book to read for its historically-linked narrative and uncomfortable truths; it’s just, wow, I’m almost speechless. It’s very effective if that makes sense, it’s sweet and heartwarming and a really tough read (bc it can be uncomfortable to be confronted with some of the themes that are rightfully explored)
