It was quite an interesting read. The blurb of my copy didn't give anything away so the way the story progressed really did surprise me.
It was as if I was watching a friend spiral—unexpected and had me thinking back on warning signs.
I enjoyed listening to men I trust's discography while reading this. Insightful read. The racism was off putting when it showed up though :/
