Ufffffff, I said I wanted to read another [a:Roxane Gay|3360355|Roxane Gay|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1407278304p2/3360355.jpg] book as soon as I set my last one down, this one was a good choice.
Its revelant, origional and ultimately heartrenching. Like [b:Difficult Women|28818921|Difficult Women|Roxane Gay|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1478773519s/28818921.jpg|51184496], the book details the struggles of women, men and asks the reader to look closer at what they are reading.
I have so many thoughts about this book that I may come back and do a longer review becuase [b:Ayiti|11535502|Ayiti|Roxane Gay|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1472929920s/11535502.jpg|16474051] is deserving of one.
