abiluvr's review against another edition
4.0
Read for my degree
This took me too long to finish but it was actually really good. So sad and a very realist book. Barker doesn’t sugarcoat the things that happen in this book with pleasant euphemisms neither does she crudely describe, but approaches these events with the appropriate metaphors and analogies. I don’t know how she does it honestly. Her writing ate down🫸🏾👑🫷🏾
