beautiful cover. the author attended my undergrad alma mater! really wanted to enjoy it but just wasn’t. in particular i wasn’t into the wide eyed shock of anti-black racism the main character expressed, it felt naive and unrealistic. didn’t like the push of “you have to work twice as hard as white people” rhetoric even when they’re being horrible and the air of respectability that seemed to be the moral of that? also Black women characters/family members are portrayed as one dimensional and it made my teeth hurt. not for me but i’m glad it was helpful for highlighting anti-black racism in the classics music scene for others.
