there's complexity in its characters - i particularly enjoy the polarity between iris and audrey - while also deftly exploring its themes and issues of race, queerness, and identity.
its unique structure, while oft intriguing, can also be confusing at times, making the reading experience a lil disjointed. nevertheless this is a good, surprisingly layered read esp considering its length.

I see why everyone raves about this book and the full-cast audiobook was incredible. Hearing Melody's grandfather speak about his family with such love and regret made me want to cry while listening. If you're going to read this one, get the audio from your library. Full stop.
