I loved this!! It’s an impressive debut that looks at the exploitation of minorities in America and how far we’re willing to go to help the people we love. It was disorientating, haunting and thought-provoking but does leave some questions unanswered so if that bothers you this might not be the best book for you. 

“It’s overwhelming to know truly how much you love someone, how much of yourself you would destroy because of that.”
