I really enjoyed this book! I love books examining relationships between women, particularly mothers and daughters, and I think this did a really good job.
however, I do wish that more time was spent talking about Clarise's experience in the psych ward. The institutionalization of black people is a topic not a lot of people discuss and I would've loved a deeper exploration of this.
overall, I thought this was lovely.
