This book made me realize how impactful one’s death can truly be on people. The women went through the most conflicting periods just to come to a realization that they are just humans existing, and I love that. 

TW: there is a borderline sexual assault scene in one of the first chapters.

This  allows readers to get to know the author minus personal connection. I was able to connect to so many poems. This is a good book to read if you do not mind being confused sometimes

I suggest you watch a film called “They Cloned Tyrone” on Netflix if you are into the topics this book discusses.
