4.0
Art history meets magical realism meets scorned women getting their revenge meets white fragility meets first gen experiences. Slow burn but towards the end of the second half of the book I could not stop thinking about Anita and Raquel, the protagonists, so worth finishing imo
Graphic: Domestic abuse and Violence
Moderate: Racism
