This book hit me very hard in a way I never would have expected. My teacher confronted me about the fact I hadn’t been speaking much in class, and I told him I was falling behind, fighting back tears to say I’ll get the work done but I was having trouble generally being alive. When I finally finished this, I found a very shocking, honest depiction of depression that met me exactly where I was at. Where I’m at, even. I finished it so long ago that I’m not sure how I’d react now, but it’s still very smartly written and concise.

Viscerally brutal and painful to read, yet beautifully written. Especially the complete dissociation of the narrator with her body is extremely jarring. It's a haunting account of the effects of prejudice and discrimination have on the mind and body and clearly shows the pervasive nature of racism in our society.
