i wanted to love this, but the pacing felt really odd to me, and i wish we’d gotten to know the characters in more depth. a lot of it felt incredibly surface level, especially considering the themes and topics the author was trying to discuss. would speculate that there was an incredibly white team behind this who sanitised the details and missed a white woman calling a brown boy her little curry puff (dear god).
Graphic: Abandonment and Domestic abuse
Moderate: War
