I can’t sum up my thoughts coherently but here’s my attempt: This book touched me with its masterful nuance and captivating story. It didn’t feel preachy and stayed grounded in reality as in centering the lives of could-be-real people and not losing itself in theory. I truly loved it. It tore me apart. I wouldn’t change a thing.
