Wow, this is my first time reading Emezi's writing and I found it incredible.
The audi is read by one of my favorite narrators, Bahni Turpin🤍🤍🤍
I did not read the synopsis upon starting and was surprised to learn that the Mc's name is bitter😂😭 poor thing....
I enjoyed this unique piece and that Bitter has the magical artistic ability to bring her drawings to life, which is AWESOME!!!
Bitter is a relatable character and genuinely needed to get their frustration out. But there is always a plot twist and sometimes your creation has a mind of its own🔮

One of the best descriptions of activism and activists I've yet read. Also, awesome representation, strong women and even a bit critical of the system (a lot, but only a bit is really mentioned).
My only critical points are of the storytelling-kind: Some of the conflicts between the characters that first seem huge are suddenly not important at all anymore. They forgive and forget and while they do talk about it, it's easily solved (especially thinking aboutthe last conflict between Bitter and Aloe - first they don't seem to even care about the others feelings, being all angry with each other and stuff, not listening to each other, then suddenly they're all reflected and make up again - that's not healthy, and honestly I don't think that's how it works for long irl. Please reflect before you start accusing each other of things ). Also, the writing style could have been better, but it was a good read nonetheless.
