this book was gross and shocking in all the best ways. it was really challenging to read because the main character was so multi-dimensional. i was confused as to why it was taking me so long to finish this but it was nice to slow down with this book because there was so much to process. there were definitely some parts where I had to pause and take a minute before continuing. such a fascinating exploration of a woman’s relationship with whiteness, beauty, and her mother. also some incredible one-liners. hedva is a complicated writer for sure.
