Really enjoyed it! (Some slight thematic spoilers) An amazing way to expose how intergenerational trauma and domestic violence can impact someone well into their adult life until they can unpack it all! 
Also loved the way the friendships and support systems were explore through the cast of characters. 
And very concrete examples of how racism shifts someone’s daily life and existence as a whole. 
All wrapped in some intelligent humor and sarcasm 👌
