Brit really did her thing with this book! I admired the commentary around colorism, sexuality, and family dynamics. All of which can be difficult for black women/people to find for themselves and I think this book really shows examples of that struggle from different perspectives. My favorite character was Jude, the daughter of Desiree Vignes. I see Jude as the beacon of hope for black women everywhere because she was labeled as unlovable from a you g age, but she found a love so strong not even distance could stop it. Really a beautiful read. The only thing I wish for is a more detailed or eventful end, but the end also feels just right.
