informative
bell hooks succeeded in what she wnated to do with this book: she created a deeply accessible and intuitive manual that can teach whomever some pillars of feminism. 
Her view on men and their role in the movement was very interesting and definitely something I'll think about 🌹

4.5

This book does an amazing job navigating the relationships that Gifty, the main character, has with her religion and her family. 
The way mental illness and the death of a relative are explored is so deep and true that it hurts either because it brings back memories or because simply you can feel the pain Gifty has to endure

It's so depressing and real that i would advise to check carefully the tws.

Dubito di risucire a descrivere a parole ciò che questo libro è per me. Sperando di essere noi tutti quella goccia.

Would most likely be a 5 star on a reread. Truly enjoyed it 😊
You know it really is fantasy when the police actually does something
