I really enjoyed reading this one but I'm not sure I can explain it. Here we go anyway!
 .
 So the MC is a Black woman who lives in West Germany, the narrative isn't linear but she's a child before the fall of the Berlin Wall and then in the bits were she's a grown-up I think it's the modern day but it could easily be anytime in the 2000's. Most of the book is written in an interview style but as though she's interviewing herself in an internal monologue rather then being interviewed by someone else. There are then little short bursts of prose about her relationships or where she imagines she's a snack machine. I'm not sure I really understand the metaphor of the snack machine.

 The writing is so readable and despite such an unusual narrative structure it manages to tell a story where at the end I had this whole life laid out for me in a way I wasn't expecting. It deals with racism, mental illness, the effect on her older relatives of having been basically trapped behind a wall and unable to travel for so much of their lives and the intergenerational trauma that has caused.

 I feel like I've done a terrible job of explaining it but I really enjoyed reading it and would definitely recommend it.
