thank you @groveatlantic and @roxanegaybooks for the early copy!
“sometimes the sun will be the perfect yellow, not too hot, and there’ll be a breeze, and you’ll look up at just the right moment. that’s all you’ll remember, that’s all that matters, and thank goodness.”
this book was such a wild ride. i think the author is trying to say something about the pressure women feel to be beautiful, to take care of everything, to be invisible but present. how easy it is to ignore what you don’t want to see. how sometimes the lies become so big we can’t figure out how to get back to the truth
it was interesting and weird and sometimes too much for me and i never would have read it if it wasn’t published by @roxanegaybooks but i’m glad i did and if you like books that are somewhat on the thriller side with a lot of sex and betrayal and unlikeable characters, this book is for you
also WHY did the one Black character that was hardly mentioned have to be “good at soccer?”
