Wow this was SO GOOD. I liked the format of switching between characters each chapter. Each character was fully formed, interesting and complicated. Their relationships, pains and joys all felt very real. If you read this and loved it I would suggesting finding some interviews with Michelle Good about the book and her mother’s experience, they are very interesting also.
