Definitely an eye-opening read about an identity and way of life that is far removed from anything I have ever experienced. I think the book is good and easy to follow, and I like that there were threads interwoven throughout that harkened to earlier details. There was one part, however, that really rubbed me the wrong way. I get the point that she was trying to convey, and I understand why she would feel the need to include it. However, I’m never in the space to read (or hear read) the n-word in a book authored by a White person. It’s only in one section, and she’s describing the fact that her abusive brother used the word as an insult to her, but I just felt a grating anger any time the word was included, especially when it’s included in the audiobook.
