Beautifully written. I love the character development and the sub theme of sisterhood. Sisterhood is also a treatment to depression and grief. I love how this book also explores the stigma of therapy within the Black community — specifically with Black men. I love how therapy as a tool was a major plot line and we were able to see characters growth through the lens of mental health care.
