“that was what gospel was meant to do—make you hate and love yourself at the same time, make you ashamed and glorified. it worked on me. it absolutely worked on me.” THIS BOOK HURTSSSSSSSSS

while not necessarily critiquing it, i think the book does a decent job portraying how even if you’re oppressed as a white person (in this case, poor) you can still be racist!

pain and misery the book 😭😭😭
