Yaa Gyasi did it again. This book left me heartbroken. But it's such a beautiful, important and interesting dive on religion, family, addiction, science, racism and so much more.
Now that I've just finished it, I find myself hoping that Gifty continues to heal and find happiness. She felt real, alive. Like this was a real memoir.
