Look is this story messy as hell? You bet! But also, life is messy as hell. Come for the mess, and stay for Emezi's gorgeous and real writing. I can't wait to read more of their books.

Domestic abuse:

there is one scene where a man is extremely aggressive, yelling, violent ie: breaking things towards the MC. She is not physical harmed, but it's scary and could be triggering for those sensitive to reading about domestic violence.
