Too Much Lip by Melissa Lucashenko

4.0

Too Much Lip, an extremely informative read that manages to seamlessly weave comedy into its pages.

this novel taught me so much about the effects of intergenerational trauma that Australia’s First Nations people face in an insightful and brutally honest way.

however, the pacing of Part 1 was so, so slow and the shift in POVs between Part 1 and 2 left me confused and i was often left trying to figure out whose perspective i was reading. there was also an instance of ableist language in Part 2 where a different word could definitely have been used.

although, i really enjoyed the ending and i found the afterword extremely moving.
