Another dnf due to poor decisions on the authors part in their descriptions of Black people. I refuse to read any more books like this.

Absolutely loved the characters and their relationships. I enjoyed the swapping time periods. The range of emotions I was able to feel as deeply as I did reading this book made it all the more enjoyable.

PTSD flashbacks of working at a care center (Minnie is a very accurate old lady). The movie is better than the book, but the book is gayer (and yet more Christian). Thought provoking, but not necessarily in a good way. Mildly confused about authorial intent (some nuanced discussion and portrayals of race and black culture juxtaposed by racism).
