The truth does not change whether it is seen or unseen, it whispered in her mind. A thing that is happening happens whether you look at it or not. And yes, maybe it is easier not to look. Maybe it is easier to say because you do not see it, it is not happening.
Wow… This book packs such a punch in so little pages… This book is so heavy and will truly leave you at a loss of words. Complacency and its negative effects are depicted so well in this novel it tears you open. What we choose not to see when it comes to those we know and love and how that effects not only those close to us but also the world we live in. I cannot fully explain how wonderful this book is.

Emezi brought these characters to life and they felt real. They breathe.
Jam is so interesting and complex. Her relationships with her parents, her friend Redemption, and Pet made the plot worth the wait.
The actual story takes place over a few days, I was surprised how close and natural the friendship with Pet felt in such a timeframe.
The narrative explores the different facets of how humans deal with harm and how to address it when it's identified, for those impacted and the perpetrator.
It was compelling and didn't seem to be prosthelytizing. Just a character study of how different people will react to the same situation.
Minor: Pedophilia, Child abuse, Sexual assault, and Murder
