Interesting time and place. T  he main characters self discovery journey leads the story.  I think my lack of knowledge of place and time probably decreased by engagement in the story.

oh, this. this was good. i wasn't super on board with the book at first because the whole White Woman feminism but being that the author of the book is Not White and the rest of the elements of the story were interesting to read about i kept going, and i'm glad i did. the book really ties itself together towards the end, that scene where

juliet is at a queer dance party and she gets an impulse haircut..... the EMOTIONS

. the analysis of feminism and what it means to each character was incredibly interesting to read about, and the relationship between juliet and harlowe was a real eye-opener for me. all-in-all definitely a book i'd recommend reading, with a fantastic grasp of the subjects it deals with that allows for a chance to really reflect on how race and feminism intersect.
