this book dealt with a lot of heavy and important topics - racism, sexism, classism, & more + how they all affect families dealing with social workers and the system. unfortunately i really didn’t like the ending but i think that’s the point. overall i appreciated the concept and themes but found it slow and hard to get through at times.

I found Frieda's character to be complicated, but not unlovable. I was definitely rooting for her at the end. I think the author did a fantastic job impressing the intensity in Frieda's thoughts and expressing her anxieties throughout the book.
