The writing style is what made me read it entiterly. Because the story doesn't seem to go anywhere when u read it. I don't think it does. But through the story a lot of themes are "talked about". Like barely. Just à hint.
And that's what's weird to me, it seems to be a message but you can't figure it out.
Plus there are some disturbing scenes and I don't know why they're here. Like how was it revenant to the story.
At some point there's a scene where a black girl takes her tit out at laugh, stick her tongue out too. And for no reason. To see her as the bad twin there were other ways than depicting a black girl in the 1700 as crazy. I mean I get it, kind of, the point she's trying to make. I don't see how this in particular was useful.
