while I thought the story in this book was told in a creative way (for example the way the story was told and the use of newspaper + recipe clippings in the text) I cannot fail to mention the use of the n-word and what seems to me like a white author using stereotypes to write her Black characters, which made me frustrated. If you're looking for a queer wlw book that uses media from the world in the book (such as recipes, newspaper articles, letters etc) then go read one last stop NOT this
