It was definitely an interesting read. I did read it over two days so that probably wasn’t the smartest idea to fully understand what was going on, especially since there were three stories that were at first separate and eventually intertwined. I’m not sure if I was exactly the right audience for this book, but I am all about reading banned books because I do think there are important learnings in all of them and also I think it’s important for people to see themselves in stories that they read. Honestly I’m unsure if it’s me or how my brain works that some of this went over my head a little but still wanted to learn and understand.
