Bizar portret over racisme, moeilijke familiesituatie, hoe snel een opstapeling van gebeurtenissen je leven kan tekenen. Heel erg indrukwekkend hoe je steeds stukjes van wat er gebeurd is krijgt en die samen langzaam een hartverscheurend beeld vormen.

I liked the story itself, the translation was a bit clunky. I kinda felt bad for everyone but the therapist, like the kids have experienced trauma, either racial or sexual or both. And when the lash out, the consequences are harsh without any space for why the lashed out in the beginning. And with a therapist with a famously racist past which they might not regret, our main lead feels hopeless and unheard. Like her concerns or pov are pointless and won't be addressed.

Liked the book, but the translation may have been a little clunky. I mainly read translated fic from Latin America and East Asia, so maybe this is normal for Scandinavian translated fic

Een krachtig verhaal vol gevoel. De stijl van het boek lag mij echter niet. Ik kwam er moeilijk doorheen en vond het wat langdradig.
