This is not a book I know how to review. It's so unique in both content and concept that I have no idea how to talk about it to someone who hasn't read it. I was fascinated the entire time. The audiobook (read by Daveed Diggs) was fantastic. I have also read Rivers Solomon's book An Unkindness of Ghosts. I would say that this book is a less... difficult? somewhat easier to stomach?... than An Unkindness of Ghosts, but is equally unflinching in it's treatment of heavy topics.
