I’m sure this resonates for others, but it’s not for me. Not least because the extensive discussion of suicide and self harm was triggering for me, so go into this having read content and trigger warnings.
Otherwise I can’t tell if it’s just that I’m uncomfortable with someone being so confident or if I genuinely think they’re delusional in a harmless way. But none of it hit with me and I didn’t enjoy the writing style either.

Once again Emezi is the most talented contemporary writer. Their story and experience is one of impressive resilience. They also seen to have an extremely strong sense of self and self worth which I covet. Reading this book could not have happened at a better time, while it was difficult in some places the wisdom Emezi emparted was extremely helpful as well as their belief in working for the future you want
