I read this book as part of a book club and I'm so glad I did. I did the audio version and I loved having the author read it to me. This book really nicely touches on the complicated relationships that happen in Black families, especially Black/ African families. The complicated ways parents (of all ethnicities) can be demanding of children to the point that the kids lose themselves. Just a lot of complications. This book was a beautifully written and a quick read--I read it in one day.
