Read for book club. The book was short and the friendship aspect was well written but the RACISM. The antifeminism. The whole thing was just yikes after yikes. Extra uncomfy as a biracial person listening to them moan about having a biracial child or their interracial relationship. I understand it was the 60s, but so much of this was a yikes for me.
