Formatted as letters to friends of the author. We witness Akwaeke's deeply personal writing over the expanse of several life altering events. Emezi's writing holds no comparisons.
I'm now more than ever excited to read Freshwater.
Do not read without checking warnings.

“What is love if not a shield thrown up around you when you are too injured to throw it up yourself?”
.
This memoir is written in letters. Mostly to others, but also written to themselves. They spoke on every area of their life. From family past, identity - both gender and body, suicidal ideations, self - acceptance, romantic relationships, friendships, their home life, and even the ups and downs of following purpose to include their journey in the publishing world.
.
The author uses this work to explain some of the happenings in their first work, Freshwater, and how it made it into the world. Though it isn’t in a traditional format, it is definitely a great work that helps to shape and mold an image of who Akwaeke is and how they view and shape the world around them.
