Beautiful writing. The book is short and I liked the way it was written in short paragraphs which made it a easy, fast and engaging to read. It gets into some difficult topics but it also finds a way to make it funny and somewhat lighthearted which is impressive. It is also just a very cool and edgy book about a black woman figuring out life.
