Painfully relatable to read!
I don't think I've ever appreciated and hated a book so much. While I am hopeful for a better society, and proud for such stories to be shared, I hate reading about it and how much, today's societies still are unequal. It pains and anger me so much.
When it comes to reading the book, i just felt like the writing feels kinda dry (?), which might/could be the result of the translation.
