Well that was entertaining. Telling this story through twins was a good choice. The ending, as well as the whole story, is realistic.

A beautiful and timely book about motherhood and sisterhood, but also society, colorism, and gender constructs. Gorgeous writing. I've heard rumors of an HBO series and I cannot wait.
