Reviews

[Sydney Weaber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great novel. Really focuses on the intersection of class, race, and gender. Very engaging read, would definitely recommend to others. Melodramatic, sentimental piece, interesting plot twists. Hoping that this becomes more widely available and read in the future.
