With so few words, the author really hit home so many issues surrounding identity, marginalisation, womanhood and how the world perceives us. I can't wait to read her latest release, I might try this one on audio too, it sounds even more phenomenal.

It might be one of my favorite audiobooks of all time. The narrator really made me feel the words with her voice, and it's so hard to describe exactly how impactful the overall experience was for me. When her mother does that to her book/journal... something broke inside of me, for her and her mother, that I still remember to this day. I cannot wait to listen to her second book!!
