I wanted pure colour 2.0. Which I know does not exist. This was still an enjoyable read though. Occasionally made me feel Bad. But also occasionally made me feel Good. I hate writing reviews

mhm, this book felt a little hollow (like there’s no true meaning to these ramblings). 

after the first couple chapters i thought to myself, the author must be white (and she is) and that “kind of” helped me try to understand where she’s coming from, but overall still left feeling nothing for it

You don't have to idolize your narrator. This was great. You see the male version of this narrator all the time. Why is a female version still so fresh/controversial/anger-inducing? Laugh riot?
