bees don’t like when you do gymnastics on they’s heads.

a Única coisa que me fez terminar esse livro foi a briar. literalmente. tirando ela e a zara, todos outros personagens são ruins. não no sentido de serem pessoas ruins (no caso da alix e do kelley sim), mas sim que não são interessantes e bem construídos.

a história começa interessante e eu achei que teria muita discussão em cima de tudo, mas 80% do tempo esconderam o que aconteceu e ficaram agindo como adolescentes.

no final, foi uma perda de tempo. queria que fizessem um compilado apenas com os momentos em que a briar e a zara aparecem, e talvez assim eu recomendasse essa leitura para alguém. talvez.

This book has a slow start but once you are in you're in! I did not want to put it down. I think the way racism is handled in this book is so interesting and important, especially as it pertains to racism in white spaces that espouse themselves as liberal. Highly recommend!!

The lesson I learned from this: white people need to stop meddling!! And they should also stop trying to outdo one another in an imaginary competition of "Who is the least racist" (unless it's for my personal amusement).
For real though, I LOVE the writing and the story and the characters. I feel like I was reading about real people, not made-up fictional characters. Emira has my heart. I enjoyed myself the whole time and I felt so satisfied with how everything came together. So glad I picked this book up :)
Part of me wants to recommend this to everyone I know, but the other part of me knows not everyone will get invested in a slice-of-life story with this type of writing. I also want to hear what other people took away from this book! I'm curious to see what other interpretations of the story might be, and what I may have missed!
