I’m a 15 year old freshman so I might be wrong when I say the theme of the story is “the cycle of the untreated darkness of the black experience”. That’s all I’m going to say for this book. I rated it 5 stars but I also think it’s quite literally trauma porn. Happy Black History Month (which is every month but you know) and happy reading.
