This book is supposed to be an ode to brown girls, and while it did feel like that, it also felt a bit lofty at times. The author sure packed a lot of brown girl identities and cultures into one book. The writing style wasn’t really for me: First person plural, and the chapters seemed more like vignettes than chapters of a novel imo. I identified with a lot of the experiences detailed in this book and felt emotional when I could relate; but I felt my focus drifting during the parts I didn’t personally relate to.

this book is okay if you can ignore the antiblackness and the fact that asian, indigenous, and south american people are grouped in w black people which I find very strange. just throughout this whole book I had this feeling of not truly being able to relate to it since I know the author didn’t GENUINELY have my experiences in mind while writing it. Besides that the book is enjoyable and does a nice job at describing the world the characters live in.
