i think this book successfully manages to discuss a complex topic in an accessible way while not overly-shielding readers from the uncomfortable parts. i was so tense for the whole last half of the book knowing that things were going to implode. i do wish there was a more concrete ending, but i do get what the author was going for with the vagueness.
would highly recommend the audiobook version narrated by nicole lewis! really elevated the story for me.
