I appreciate this book for the skill of the author, and the super original and genuinely well executed idea. HOWEVER, this book took me way too long to read like omfg it was a SLOG to get through, especially because the voice/style of the writing changes with every single part. Really smart, super cool, but maybe just not one that I would reread tbh.
Graphic: Racism, Slavery, Racial slurs, and Violence
