Sometimes small books have big impacts. I'll be thinking about this book for a while and I know I still won't grasp everything in it. Poetic, lyrical, strong and intentional. No sentence is wasted. I thought the deep and jarring truths were brilliantly juxtaposed to the physical setting and bodies within the story and beyond it. I found its structure made me stop and reflect on the racism, classism, and the ways in which we play our social roles that the narrative examines before I could keep going. And yet, I couldn't stop myself from reading it within a few days. It'll stick with you.
