A powerful and insightful look into queer, black womanhood that a lot of people can learn from in an easy-to-disgest espilatory style

This book is very emotional and heartbreaking. Throughout the story there are multiple points which may be hard for some. Actually the entire book is not an easy so beware. I enjoy the rawness and the connection that were built despite actions of others. Sisterhood and love and trauma make this book and its movie one of my favorites.
