I felt the anger, the pain, the trauma.
The prose flowed like water and told a powerful story that allowed me to further understand what it means and feels like to be black in this day and age.
At moments I felt like my pain and anger where being shared, as a woman on latin America life is not easy and the anxiety that bled through the words felt too familiar.
The entire book felt like a beautiful show with its own soundtrack and as a music lover I appreciate how every song was perfectly framed in the story.
