Hmmm, a curious read. After finishing it this afternoon, I'm struggling to articulate WHY it didn't entirely land for me (or even who the book is for?) -- but I also recognize that my reading is going to be filtered by my own positionality. Would still gladly read Harris' next book, if only to see where she takes her writing!
