This story is so smart. Incredible.
I cried a few times throughout and would recommend reading trigger warnings however. It's pretty intense in parts.

My favourite teacher recommended it to me so naturally I read it and so grateful that she did.
It follows I think it was 12 black women throughout history but the are all connected in various ways. A lot of important topics such as racism, gender and in General queerness, sexual assault, feminism and abusive relationships are adressed. I learned sooo much from this book and at the beginning I was very confused because there wasn’t a single full stop or proper grammar but the plottwist or rather revealing at the end made everything make sense.
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone but look at the trigger warnings first!
Moderate: Racism, Racial slurs, Sexual violence, Violence, Rape, and Sexism
