Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi
adventurous
challenging
dark
emotional
sad
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
I almost DNFed this several times but stuck with it to see all the ways it ties to Pet. But most of the major characters besides Bitter herself bugged the crap out of me. And idk what message Emezi intended readers to take away, but the one I got sits poorly with me.
Graphic: War, Police brutality, Self harm, Violence, and Panic attacks/disorders
Moderate: Ableism, Bullying, Murder, and Blood
Minor: Transphobia, Homophobia, and Child abuse
