All in all it was a good book, I won't deny that. It was super diverse, tackled systemic oppression and colonialism and cultural erasure in a fantastic way, I don't think I liked the FMC as much as I thought I would but I can also see how her abrasive personality is by design. Idk, I can't and won't say anything bad about it because it is a GREAT book, I think I just may be the problem here.
